Ingredients:

• Dough:
  • 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 cups whole milk or oat milk (warm)
  • 14g instant yeast
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 150g butter or vegan butter, room temperature
• Blueberry sauce:
  • 250g blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon of cardamom
  • 4 tablespoons of water
  • 6 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• Icing:
  • 170g of fresh cheese
  • 75g butter, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons blueberry sauce
• Additional:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Start the dough by combining the yeast, warm milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a large bowl. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
2. Stir in 4.5 cups flour until just incorporated. Let this pre-dough rest for 20 minutes.
3. Gradually add the butter, remaining sugar, salt, and 2 3/4 cups flour, mixing then kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
5. Prepare the blueberry sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened, then let cool slightly.
6. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, spread the blueberry filling evenly and roll up the dough. Cut into rolls using a wire or a sharp knife.
7. Arrange the rolls in a baking dish, let them rise for another 10-15 minutes, then pour the heavy cream over them.
8. Bake at 200°C (370°F) for 30 to 40 minutes.
9. For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons blueberry sauce until smooth.
10. Once the rolls have cooled, spread the icing on them and decorate as desired.

Enjoy these divine blueberry rolls, a delicious treat that combines the joy of fresh berries with the deliciousness of creamy frosting!
