Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk with sugar and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour gradually while mixing. Knead until smooth (8-10 minutes).
- Let it rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
- Create the filling: Mix softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth; fold in blueberries gently.
- Roll it out: Punch down the risen dough on a floured surface and roll into a rectangle (¼ inch thick). Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving edges free.
- Shape your rolls: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Cut into equal pieces (1-2 inches thick) and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Bake to perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover rolls while preheating for an additional rise (30 minutes). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
