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)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Drop spoonfuls of blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer.
  • Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
  • Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Once baked, brush the tops with melted butter and allow to cool slightly before serving.
