Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm milk 110°F
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted (for brushing)

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Gradually add 3 1/2 cups of flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, incorporate more flour as needed.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer.
  9. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
  10. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Once baked, brush the tops with melted butter and allow to cool slightly before serving.
