Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups plus 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 package (8g) or 2-1/4 teaspoons quick rising yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon whole flaxseeds
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
For the Filling:
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons light cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
For the Dough:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (if using the heat to help your rolls rise)
- Combine 2 cups of the all purpose flour, 1 cup of the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseeds, yeast, salt, chia seeds, and whole flaxseeds in a medium mixing bowl.
- Fit the mixer with the hook attachment and mix the dry ingredients.
- Add milk, sugar, butter and vanilla to a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring often, just until milk is warmed, butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Do not simmer or boil.
- Remove from heat and carefully pour into a large measuring cup.
- Add the egg to the flour mixture and blend.
- Add the warm mixture and blend until a soft ball formed.
- Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
- Stir with the hook attachment 1 minute until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a clean bowl that has been lightly oiled.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place (I put mine on the preheated oven stove top) for 30 minute or until doubled in size.
For the Filling:
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
- When dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll out dough to a 12x14-inch rectangle.
- Using a butter knife, spread 2 tablespoons butter evenly over dough.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar-cinnamon mixture and spread evenly to edges.
- Evenly sprinkle the blueberries onto the rectangle.
- Roll up dough jelly-roll-style.
- You should end up with a 12-inch long roll.
- Using a very sharp knife, mark and slice roll into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange rolls in a single layer in prepared pan.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- If not using the heat to help your rolls rise preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake rolls for 25 minutes.
- They should be puffed up and light golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly (10 minutes).
- Remove from pan.
For the drizzle:
- Cream all ingredients together until smooth.
- Drizzle evenly over warm rolls.
