Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed, for filling)
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened, for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Warm the milk to about 110°F (warm to the touch but not hot) and mix it with the melted butter.

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour while kneading the dough. Knead on a floured surface or with a dough hook for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 5

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

Step 6

After the first rise, roll the dough out into a 12x15-inch rectangle on a floured surface.

Step 7

Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle it evenly on top of the butter. Scatter the blueberries over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 8

Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut it into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.

Step 9

Place the rolls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, until they puff up.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 11

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
