Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining lukewarm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dough by adding melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually mix in the flour until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or knead in a stand mixer for 6-8 minutes.
  4. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon filling by mixing softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
  6. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 18×12 inches.
  7. Assemble the rolls by spreading the cinnamon filling over the dough, then sprinkling blueberries on top.
  8. Form the rolls by tightly rolling the dough and sealing the seam, then slice into 12 equal pieces.
  9. Second rise in a greased baking dish for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Make the cream cheese glaze by combining softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl, adding milk for consistency.
  12. Glaze the warm rolls and enjoy!
