Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to become frothy and aromatic for approximately 5 minutes.
- Incorporate melted butter, egg, and flour into the yeast mixture. Knead the dough thoroughly until it transforms into a smooth, elastic consistency. Let the dough rest and expand in a warm environment for one hour.
- Craft the cream cheese filling by whipping cream cheese with powdered sugar until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Gently roll the risen dough into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface, ensuring an even thickness.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the dough’s surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Delicately scatter fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer, distributing them uniformly.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring the filling remains secure inside.
- Slice the log into 12 equal segments using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, allowing slight space between each piece for expansion.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and let the rolls proof for an additional 20 minutes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the rolls develop a golden-brown exterior and appear fully cooked.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and drizzling over the warm rolls.
Notes
- Activate instant yeast at the right temperature to ensure proper dough rising, avoiding water that’s too hot or cold which can kill the yeast.
- Soften cream cheese completely at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free filling that spreads easily across the dough.
- Prevent soggy rolls by patting blueberries dry before adding them to the filling, reducing excess moisture that could make the pastry soggy.
- Make the recipe gluten-free by substituting regular flour with a high-quality gluten-free blend, maintaining the soft and tender texture of the rolls.
