- 1/2 cup milk warm
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Mix in the flour gradually until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Filling
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and lemon zest until smooth. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly over it. Sprinkle blueberries on top.
Assembly
- Roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other. Slice into 8 equal pieces and place them in the prepared pan. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
Baking
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let them cool slightly in the pan before glazing.
Serving
- Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
Storage
- Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week for freshness.
