Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (you can use frozen if needed)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk and water until just lukewarm (about 100°F). Add melted butter and the egg to the milk mixture, whisking well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Filling

  1. While the dough is rising, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl to make the cinnamon filling. Set aside.

3. Roll and Assemble

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12×9 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  2. Spread the cinnamon butter evenly over the dough.
  3. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the cinnamon mixture.
  4. Carefully roll up the dough, starting from one long side, and pinch the edges to seal.
  5. Slice the roll into 9-12 even pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

4. Bake the Rolls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

5. Make the Glaze

  1. While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  2. Once the rolls are done, drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls.
