Instructions

Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, until doubled in size.
Assemble the Rolls:
Roll out the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon, and scatter blueberries over the surface. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and cut into 12 even slices.
Bake:
Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Frosting:
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and spreadable.
Serve:
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are thawed and well-drained to avoid extra moisture.
For extra sweetness, drizzle a little glaze before the frosting.
Rolls can be prepped the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
