Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 packet (7 grams) active dry yeast
Dough and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk (110°F) until it becomes frothy and fully activated, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, creating a central cavity for wet components.
- Whisk together melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract with activated yeast until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually integrate liquid mixture into dry ingredients, kneading continuously for 8-10 minutes to develop a smooth, elastic dough.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm space until volume doubles, approximately 1 hour.
- Deflate risen dough and roll into a rectangular shape on a floured surface, ensuring even thickness.
- Distribute fresh blueberries across the dough surface, gently pressing them to secure placement.
- Tightly roll the dough into a compact log, then slice into 12 uniform rounds using a sharp serrated knife.
- Arrange rolls in a buttered baking dish, allowing minimal space between each piece for soft sides.
- Allow rolls to proof for an additional 30 minutes in a draft-free environment.
- Heat oven to 375°F and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until they achieve a rich golden-brown coloration.
- Prepare cream cheese frosting by blending cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until silky and smooth.
- Immediately spread generous layer of frosting over freshly baked rolls while still warm.
- Rest rolls for 10 minutes to allow frosting to slightly set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Ensure milk temperature stays between 110-115°F when activating yeast to prevent killing the cultures and guarantee proper rising.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten networks, creating an incredibly soft and pillowy texture that melts in your mouth.
- Gently fold blueberries to prevent crushing, maintaining their fresh burst of flavor and preventing color bleeding into the dough.
- Replace regular flour with gluten-free blend for those with wheat sensitivities, adding xanthan gum to maintain structural integrity.
