Dough Preparation
- Warm 1 cup of milk in a saucepan over low heat until warm (about 110°F). Dissolve 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in the warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix in the softened butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture until a sticky dough forms.
Knead and Rise
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled.
Filling Preparation
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to a 16x12 inch rectangle. Spread ¼ cup of softened butter over the dough, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and ¼ cup of sugar, then evenly distribute 1 cup of blueberries.
Roll and Slice
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, close but not touching.
Second Rise
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bake the Rolls
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Prepare the Icing
- Blend 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of blueberry jam in a bowl until smooth.
Icing and Serving
- Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Spread the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls and serve.

Notes
Ensure milk is warm but not hot for yeast activation. Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
