Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast 🧁
- 1/2 tsp salt 🧂
- 1/2 cup whole milk 🥛
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- 1/4 cup water 💧
- 1 large egg 🥚
For the Blackberry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries 🍇
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
- 1 tbsp cornstarch 🌽
- 1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 🍂
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 🧈
- 1 cup powdered sugar 🍬
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍨
- 1–2 tbsp milk 🥛 (optional for thinning)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat the milk, melted butter, and water until warm (about 110°F). Add the warm liquid and egg to the flour mixture, mixing until combined. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Make the Blackberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blackberries break down (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spread the blackberry filling evenly over the dough. Roll the dough up tightly from the long side, then slice it into 12 equal pieces.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and enough milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Glaze the Rolls: Once the blackberry rolls have cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese glaze over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy: These blackberry sweet rolls are fruity, sweet, and perfect for any occasion!
Notes
- Ensure the milk mixture is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can use frozen blackberries if fresh ones aren’t available; just thaw them before use.
