Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup warm milk (about 100°F)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp salt

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Topping

  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine warm milk, instant yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Let it activate until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in softened butter, egg, salt, and flour until a soft, sticky dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: While the dough rises, blend together softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
  3. Roll Out and Assemble: Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12 by 16 inch rectangle. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean edges.
  5. Second Rise and Bake: Place the rolls into a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined tray, spacing them slightly apart. Cover loosely with a towel and let them rise for 30-40 minutes until puffy. Brush the tops with an egg wash for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until browned.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries to maintain shape and flavor without excess moisture.
  • Don’t overfill the rolls; use a thin, even layer of filling to prevent sogginess or bursting.
  • Warm the milk gently to about 100°F to activate yeast without killing it.
  • Cover dough properly during rising with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before glazing to avoid melting or runny toppings.
