Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
⅓ cup granulated sugar (for dough)
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (for dough)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (for filling)
¾ cup granulated sugar (for filling)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Warm the milk to about 110°F. Stir in the yeast and ⅓ cup sugar. Let it sit for 5–7 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add in the yeast mixture, eggs, and ⅓ cup melted butter. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes by hand or 5 in a mixer. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
3. Mix ¾ cup sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Set aside with ½ cup melted butter and blueberries.
4. Roll out the dough into a 16×12 inch rectangle. Brush with butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar, and scatter blueberries. Roll up from the long edge and cut into 12 rolls.
5. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13 pan. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
6. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Let cool slightly.
7. Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.
Notes
Do not overheat the milk or it can kill the yeast.
Frozen blueberries can be used—do not thaw.
For a tangy glaze, replace milk with lemon juice.
