Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, warm the milk and melted butter, then stir in the egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assemble the Rolls
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread with blueberry jam, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 slices.
- Place the slices in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Prepare the Frosting
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in the blueberries.

Notes
Proofing is important for the dough. If your house is cold, place the dough near a warm oven. You can use frozen blueberries for the frosting without thawing them.
