Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Blueberries
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (not hot to the touch).

Step 3

Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the egg and mix well.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour, kneading until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches).

Step 8

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the blueberries on top.

Step 9

Starting with a long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 10

Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 13

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with additional powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.
