There's something amazing about all sorts of sweetness wrapped up in an eggy dough and covered in sticky icing. Cinnamon buns are one of my favorite breakfast eats, and this is where the idea came from to make a blueberry version.
I also love baking things that aren't really supposed to turn out perfectly perfect looking. It's fun to see the dough take on some strange shapes and create crevices for the icing to run through.
Let me give you the skinny on the not so skinny filling. Cream cheese is mixed with some blueberry jam, butter and brown sugar and spread all over the dough.
I could have called it a day at that stage but...then I spotted some white chocolate chips so those had to be added too. Before you roll up the dough into a long snake shape, scatter some fresh blueberries on top of everything else and kaboom, the filling is done.
Being an ambassador for Red Star Yeast is a pretty cool gig. I love to bake and they love people who bake, it's a win-win situation.
They have three types of yeast available, but I always try to use the Quick Rise Yeast just because I know how fast it works. I'm able to make a dough at 6a.m and sometimes have the finished product on the table by 8.30...that's fast!

If you freeze any dough at this point, thaw in the fridge overnight. Leave the dough covered to come to room temperature and then bake as instructed.
