Ingredients
Scale
- 2 and 3/4 cups (344g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
- 3 Tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 and 1/4 cups (170–180g) fresh blueberries
- 6 Tablespoons (75g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 ounces (113g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (90g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
- optional: lemon zest or sliced lemons for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk and butter. Heat until melted and warm to the touch. Whisk in the yeast until dissolved.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and stir with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 3–5 minutes until smooth.
- Lightly grease a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover tightly and let rise in a warm area until nearly doubled in size (about 1.5 hours).
- Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly while smashing blueberries against pan sides until mixture boils; continue boiling until slightly reduced. Allow cooling completely.
- Punch down risen dough to release air. Roll out dough into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Spread cooled blueberry filling over rolled dough evenly; tightly roll into a log shape.
- Cut rolled dough into 9–12 even pieces; arrange rolls in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap or towel; allow rising for about 1 hour until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 24–25 minutes until lightly browned; tent with foil if browning too quickly.
- Beat cream cheese on high speed until creamy; add butter until combined. Mix in confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Spread icing over warm rolls after removing from oven. Garnish with lemon zest if desired, then serve.
