Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbsp cornstarch (only if using frozen berries)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- If using frozen blueberries, toss them with cornstarch.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 9×12-inch rectangle.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough and sprinkle with blueberries.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut into 9 equal pieces.
- Place rolls in a greased 9-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25–28 minutes until golden and set in the center.
- While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use cornstarch with frozen blueberries to prevent excess moisture.
- Can substitute other berries or use fruit fillings like cinnamon-apple.
- Store rolls in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge for 4 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped rolls and reheat in microwave or oven.
- Plant-based substitutes can be used for a dairy-free version.
