Blueberry Sweet Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

These are a delicious alternative to cinnamon rolls! Made similarly, just subbing the buttery cinnamon filling for a rich blueberry jam. The cream cheese frosting (let's be honest, the best part) remains the same! 
Prep Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients
  

  • 7 g Dried Instant/Fast Acting Yeast
  • 200 ml Milk Warm (see notes)
  • 50 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Medium Egg, 1 Egg Yolk Save the white for later
  • 65 g Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 440 g Strong White Bread Flour
For the Filling
  • 150 g Good Quality Blueberry Jam
For the Frosting
  • 300 g Full Fat Cream Cheese
  • 75 g Icing Sugar

Method
 

  1. Start by combining the yeast and warm milk in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. The milk should be just warm to the touch but not hot. Let bloom for 5 minutes - it should look 'bubbly'.
  2. Add in the egg and egg yolk, butter and sugar. Mix to combine. Add about 3/4 of the flour and bring together to form a dough (either using your hands/dough hook attachment). At this stage, gradually add the remaining flour until a smooth dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes. Spray the bowl with some oil and let rise in a warm place for an hour (until doubled in size).
  3. Once doubled in size, punch down and tip onto lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll to about 15x8 inches. Spread jam over this, leaving space at the top.
  4. Starting with the long side, roll the dough away from you to form a tight log. Use either a serrated knife or dental floss to cut about 9 rolls. Place into a 11inch round dish, or 9x9inch square dish.
  5. Let rest a further 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Bake the tray of cinnamon rolls for about 20 minutes: until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  6. Once cool, mix together the cream cheese and icing sugar. Spread over the rolls and serve!
