Can I Use Frozen Blueberries Instead of Fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture that could make the filling too wet and affect the dough’s texture.

How Do I Prevent the Filling from Leaking Out?

To keep the blueberry and cinnamon-sugar filling from oozing out, press the filling lightly into the dough before rolling and make sure to pinch the seams tightly when rolling.

Can I Make These Rolls Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! You can assemble the rolls and refrigerate them overnight before baking. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before placing them in the oven.

Instructions

Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
Make the Dough: Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle, brush it with melted butter, and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it. Scatter the fresh blueberries across the dough, pressing them lightly so they stay in place.
Shape the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Pinch the seam closed to prevent the filling from leaking out. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12 even slices.
Second Rise: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes, allowing them to puff up before baking.
Bake the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. If they brown too quickly, loosely cover them with foil to prevent burning.
Make the Frosting: While the rolls are baking, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Frost and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven, spread the cream cheese frosting over them while they’re still warm so it melts slightly into the swirls. Serve immediately and enjoy the soft, gooey goodness.
