Description
Delicious blueberry cream cheese rolls perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus up to 1/4 cup additional, to be added only if necessary)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce packet, such as Red Star Platinum)
- pinch salt (optional and to taste)
- 1/2 cup milk (Trader Joe’s Light Coconut Milk in a can)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (very soft – blueberry, raspberry, peach, apricot, for the filling)
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened (about 1/3 cup)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for the cream cheese glaze)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, for the cream cheese glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the cream cheese glaze)
Instructions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all ingredients other than milk; set aside.
- Add milk to a glass measuring cup and warm to temperature, about 45 seconds on high power in the microwave.
- Pour the milk over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and knead on low speed for about 7 minutes (10 minutes by hand).
- If after 5 minutes dough is very sticky and more flour is needed, add the remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough clears the side of the bowl, but sticking to the bottom is okay.
- After kneading, turn the dough out into a large, greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
- With a rolling pin, roll dough into approximately an 18-inch-by-12-inch rectangle.
- Add the butter, and spread evenly over the surface.
- Add the jelly and spread evenly, leaving a small margin near the edges.
- Starting with a long side, roll to form a tight cylinder.
- Slice the cylinder into 8 to 10 evenly sized pieces.
- Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Allow the rolls to rise in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled, about 60 to 75 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F in the last minutes of rising.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly golden on top and cooked through.
- While rolls bake, make the Cream Cheese Glaze by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and beating until smooth.
- After baking, generously drizzle glaze over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.
