  5. Prepare the filling by mixing cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  6. Roll the risen dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, spread with softened butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and blueberries.

  8. Cover and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
