Ingredients

Scale
  • 530g (4 ¼ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant or active dry yeast
  • 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 240g (1 cup) whole milk
  • 85g (6 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 300g (10.5oz) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (for filling)
  • 113g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 30g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
  • 180g (1 ½ cups) confectioners' sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract or paste
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp blueberry filling (reserved)

Instructions

  1. Warm milk to 95–104°F, then mix with yeast and sugar. Let it sit until bubbly (5–10 mins for active dry yeast).
  2. Combine flour, salt, and eggs into the yeast mixture until a dough forms. Gradually knead in softened butter until smooth (about 10 mins).
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (1–1.5 hours).
  4. Prepare the blueberry filling by cooking blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thickened (approx. 5 mins). Cool completely.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (12×16 inches), spread cooled filling on top (reserve some for frosting), roll into a log shape, and slice into 12 rolls.
  6. Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish; cover and let rise again until puffy (30–45 mins).
  7. Bake at 350°F for 25–28 minutes until golden brown.
  8. For frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy, mix in confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt, and swirl reserved blueberry filling.
  9. Allow rolls to cool slightly before frosting.
