Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Warm the milk to about 110°F and combine with sugar and yeast. Let sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
2. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1.5–2 hours.
4. In a saucepan, cook blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch until thick and jam-like. Let cool completely.
5. Roll out the dough into a 16×12-inch rectangle. Spread the blueberry filling evenly, leaving a small edge.
6. Roll the dough into a tight log and slice into 12 rolls using dental floss or a serrated knife.
7. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch pan. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, covering with foil if they brown too quickly.
9. Make the glaze by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
10. Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother dough and better rise.
Allow the blueberry filling to cool completely before spreading it to avoid soggy dough.
For perfect spirals, roll the dough tightly and slice using unflavored dental floss.
