# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Stir and let rest for 10 minutes until frothy. Replace yeast if mixture fails to bubble.
02 -
To the yeast mixture, add the remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Mix to combine. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
03 -
Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball.
04 -
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for 60 minutes or until doubled in volume.
05 -
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon evenly.
06 -
Roll dough into a 30 x 45 cm rectangle. Brush surface with melted butter, evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar, and scatter blueberries over the dough.
07 -
Tightly roll dough from the long edge. Pinch seam to seal. Slice into 12 even portions using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss.
08 -
Place rolls, cut side up, in a greased 23 x 33 cm baking dish, leaving space between each. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until puffed.
09 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Bake rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
10 -
Beat cream cheese and softened butter together until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until smooth and lump-free.
11 -
While rolls are still warm, spread frosting evenly over the top. Serve immediately for best texture.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use warm (not hot) milk to properly activate yeast.
02 -
Gradually add flour for a tender dough; avoid adding too much.
03 -
Allow ample time for dough rising for light, fluffy results.
04 -
Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened for smooth frosting.
05 -
Let rolls cool slightly before applying frosting for optimal absorption and gooey texture.
