Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup blueberries (for topping)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm milk with yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until the dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, toss blueberries with cornstarch.
- Assemble Rolls: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle blueberries over the cream cheese layer. Roll up the dough tightly and slice into 1-inch pieces.
- Second Rise: Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add Topping: Remove rolls from oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with additional blueberries and dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast.
- For a more intense blueberry flavor, add a bit of blueberry jam to the filling.
- If you prefer a glaze, mix powdered sugar with a bit of milk and drizzle over the cooled rolls.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set.
