Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup warm milk 110°F
  • teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, a teaspoon of sugar, and the yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  • Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 3: Make the Filling

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar. Scatter the blueberries across the top.

Step 4: Roll and Slice

  • Starting at the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal. Slice into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 5: Second Rise

  • Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until puffed.

Step 6: Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

  • While the rolls are baking, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 8: Finish and Serve

  • Spread the frosting over the warm rolls right out of the oven. Serve immediately and savor every bite of gooey, fruity, cinnamon goodness.
