Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm whole milk (110°F)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast in a mixer bowl; let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Add remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and flour; knead with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Step 3: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 4: Mix softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth.
Step 5: Roll dough into a large rectangle (approx 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.
Step 6: Spread cream cheese filling over the dough and sprinkle with fresh blueberries.
Step 7: Roll the dough up tightly and cut into 12 even rolls using a serrated knife or dental floss.
Step 8: Place rolls in a greased 9x13 baking dish, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.
Step 9: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden. Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls.
