Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for filling)
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for icing)
  • Milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly to activate your yeast.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with softened butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes, developing a nice, elastic texture. Then, place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, blueberries, and vanilla until smooth. This creamy filling will add richness to your rolls.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the filling evenly across the surface and then roll it tightly from the longer side to form a log.
  6. Slice the Rolls: Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, ensuring each piece is close enough to touch.
  7. Second Rise: Cover and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving soft and airy rolls.
  8. Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and delightful.
  9. Drizzle the Icing: For icing, mix powdered sugar with a little milk until smooth. Drizzle over the rolls after they cool slightly, adding a subtle sweetness.

Notes

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for about a week. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
