Ingredients:
- Dough:
- 4.5 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups of whole milk or oat milk (warm)
- 14g of instant yeast
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 tsp of salt
- 2 & 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 150g of butter or vegan butter, room temperature
- Blueberry Sauce:
- 250g of blueberries
- 1 tsp of cardamom
- 4 tbsp of water
- 6 tbsp of sugar
- 2 tsp of corn starch
- Frosting:
- 170g of cream cheese
- 75g of butter, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp of vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp of blueberry sauce
- Additional:
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
Instructions:
- Start the dough by combining yeast, warm milk, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a large bowl. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Mix in 4.5 cups of flour until just incorporated. Let this pre-dough rest for 20 minutes.
- Gradually add butter, remaining sugar, salt, and 2 3/4 cups flour, mixing and then kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Prepare the blueberry sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened, then cool slightly.
- Roll out the proofed dough into a rectangle on a floured surface, spread the blueberry filling evenly, and roll up the dough. Cut into rolls using a thread or sharp knife.
- Arrange the rolls in a baking dish, let them proof for an additional 10-15 minutes, then pour heavy cream over the top.
- Bake at 200°C (370°F) for 30-40 minutes.
- For the frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of the blueberry sauce until smooth.
- Once the rolls are cooled, spread the frosting over them and garnish as desired.
Enjoy these divine blueberry rolls, a delightful treat that combines the joy of fresh berries with the indulgence of creamy frosting!
