Ingredients
Scale
4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) of instant yeast
½ cup of granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
½ cup of warm milk
¼ cup of melted unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
2 large eggs
2 cups of fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of cream cheese, optional
1–2 tablespoons of milk, for icing consistency
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of warm milk, ½ cup of sugar, and the yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this to your yeast mixture, mixing until just combined.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and mix them into the dough along with the melted butter. Stir until the dough begins to pull away from the sides.
On a floured surface, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if too sticky.
Lightly grease a bowl with butter, place the dough inside, and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In another bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon zest. Set aside.
Punch down the dough and roll it into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread melted butter over the surface.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough, then scatter the fresh blueberries over the sugar.
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly to create a log. Pinch the seam to seal and cut into 12 even slices.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish with space between each. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, cream cheese (if using), and milk in a small bowl.
Once out of the oven, drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
