Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, mix frozen blueberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch. Stir until thickened, then cool.
  2. Make the Dough: Combine dark brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, water, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, whole milk, egg, tangzhong, and vanilla in a bowl. Knead until soft and slightly sticky.
  3. Let It Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Roll Out and Fill: Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle. Spread softened butter and cooled blueberry filling evenly across the dough before rolling tightly.
  5. Cut and Arrange: Slice rolled dough into pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Allow to rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Frosting: Mix softened butter and cream cheese until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream. Frost rolls once they're slightly cooled.
