Preparation Steps
- Prepare Tangzhong: Mix ¼ cup of whole milk with ¼ cup of bread flour in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Cool.
- Make Dough: In a stand mixer, combine cooled tangzhong, ½ cup whole milk, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 egg, 3.5 cups bread flour, 1 packet yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until smooth, about 5 minutes, then add ¼ cup butter and knead for 5-7 minutes.
- First Proof: Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes until doubled in size.
- Prepare Filling: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups frozen blueberries, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice over low heat until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Cool.
- Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough, roll into a rectangle, spread filling, and roll tightly into a log. Slice into 9 pieces.
- Final Proof: Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, cover and proof for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 200°F (95°C).
- Make Frosting: Beat together 4 oz cream cheese and 2 tbsp butter, add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla paste until fluffy.
- Frost and Serve: Frost warm rolls and serve immediately.

Notes
Allow tangzhong to cool before adding it to the dough to avoid cooking the yeast. Use dental floss for cutting rolls for cleaner edges.
