1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Filling
09 -
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
10 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
11 -
¼ cup brown sugar
12 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
13 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch (if using frozen blueberries)
→ Glaze
14 -
1 cup powdered sugar
15 -
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
16 -
2-4 tablespoons milk
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warmed milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
02 -
Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla to the yeast mixture and whisk until well combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
04 -
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. If using frozen blueberries, sprinkle them with cornstarch to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
06 -
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 0.6 cm thick.
07 -
Spread the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the blueberries on top.
08 -
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
09 -
Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
10 -
Preheat your oven to 175°C. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
11 -
In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and enough milk to reach your desired glaze consistency.
12 -
Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.
13 -
Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, berry-filled perfection of your blueberry cinnamon rolls.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, ensure all refrigerated ingredients reach room temperature before beginning.
02 -
The rolls can be prepared the night before and refrigerated before the second rise, then brought to room temperature before baking.
