  • Author: angela_woods
  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

These soft, pillowy cinnamon rolls are packed with juicy blueberries and a tangy-sweet glaze. Made with just five main ingredients for the dough, this easy breakfast recipe is perfect for busy weekends and yields consistently fluffy results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Instant Yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup Whole Milk, warmed to lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 large Egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar, sifted (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dough: Add melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Beat on low until combined. Gradually add remaining flour until dough pulls away from sides.
  3. Knead the dough: Knead on medium speed with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes (or by hand for 8-10 minutes) until smooth and elastic.
  4. First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare filling: While dough rises, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the 1/2 cup butter for the filling.
  6. Roll out dough: Punch down risen dough and roll into a 12×16 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Assemble: Spread softened butter over dough, leaving a border. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture and scatter blueberries on top.
  8. Roll and cut: Roll dough tightly into a log, pinch seam to seal, and cut into 12 equal rolls. Place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
  9. Second rise: Cover rolls and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) during the last 15 minutes.
  10. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  11. Make glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  12. Serve: Let rolls cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle with glaze and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure milk is lukewarm (around 110°F) to activate yeast without killing it. Do not over-knead the dough to maintain softness. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them completely to prevent bleeding. Toss blueberries in a little flour before adding to prevent sinking. Glaze rolls while warm, not hot.
