Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm whole milk (about 110°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 – 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Zest of 2 large lemons
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of the sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Make the Dough: Add the remaining sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix with the dough hook attachment. Gradually add 4 cups of flour, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. If the dough is very sticky, add the remaining ½ cup of flour, a little at a time. Knead with the mixer for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning it over to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Create the Filling: While the dough rises, gently mix the blueberries with the sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl.
- Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle the blueberry mixture over the butter.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Glaze: While the rolls cool slightly, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk together until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
