1/4 cup	60 ml	granulated sugar
1/4 cup	60 ml	unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon	5 ml	salt
1		large egg, room temperature
3 1/2 cups	840 ml	all-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 cup	60 ml	unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
1/2 cup	120 ml	brown sugar, packed

1 cup	240 ml	confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon	15 ml	milk (or as needed)
1/2 teaspoon	2.5 ml	vanilla extract

Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, softened butter, salt, egg, and flour. Mix until it forms a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until it is smooth. Grease a bowl, place the dough inside, and cover it. Let it rise for 45 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish. Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape. Spread the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and blueberries over the dough. Roll it into a log and cut it into 10-12 pieces. Arrange the pieces in the greased baking dish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the rolls after they have rested for 10 minutes. Enjoy your delicious blueberry cinnamon rolls!
