Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Activate the Yeast: Combine 1 cup of warm milk with 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add yeast mixture, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Roll Out the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and roll into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
  • Add the Filling: Spread softened butter on dough, then sprinkle with ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 cups fresh blueberries.
  • Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal segments.
  • Second Rise: Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Drizzle with Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over rolls once slightly cooled.

Notes

Ensure dough consistency is slightly sticky but manageable. Use fresh blueberries for best flavor. Optional glazes include cream cheese icing.
