Time:

Difficulty:
3/5

For the pre dough:

  • 5 dl | 2,5 cup whole milk/ oat milk warm to touch
  • 14g instant yeast (usually equals 1 package)
  • 8,5 dl | 4,5 cup all purpose flour

Rest of the dough ingredients:

  • 150g butter / vegan butter room temperature
  • 2 dl | 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5,5 dl | 2 & 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  •  1 dl | 1/2 cup heavy cream before baking

Before Baking:

  • 1 dl (½ cup) heavy cream

Blueberry sauce filling:

  • 250 g Blueberry (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp corn starch

Frosting:

  • 170g cream cheese
  • 75g room temp butter
  • 3,5 dl | 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp of the blueberry sauce
  • Rose petals for decoration

Directions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp sugar. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the Pre-Dough: Add the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture and mix until incorporated. The consistency should be sticky and not yet dough-like. Let rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Form the Dough: Gradually add the butter (one cube at a time), followed by the sugar, salt, and remaining flour (one cup/dl at a time). Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and bouncy.
  4. First Proof: Cover and let the dough rest for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: While the dough is proofing, combine the blueberries, cardamom, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously and cook until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Transfer the proofed dough to a floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle. Spread the cooled blueberry sauce evenly over the dough. Roll up tightly and use a thread or floss to cut evenly sized rolls.
  7. Second Proof: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let proof for another 10-15 minutes.
  8. Bake: Pour heavy cream over the rolls and bake at 200°C (370°F) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Prepare the Frosting: While the rolls bake, mix the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp of the blueberry sauce until smooth.
  10. Cool & Frost: Let the rolls cool slightly before spreading on the cream cheese frosting.
  11. Optional: Sprinkle with dried rose petals for decoration.
