Instructions
Combine warm milk, water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit until frothy (10-15 minutes).
Mix egg, melted butter, salt, and 1 1/2 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Knead in remaining flour until smooth. Knead for 8-10 minutes until dough is elastic (do not overwork).
Cover and let rest 30 minutes (rising time).
Roll dough into a rectangle (12″ x 20″). Spread with huckleberry filling (berries, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice).
Fold dough like a letter by bringing both edges together. Cut into 15 pieces using a bench scraper.
Place rolls in greased 9″x13″ baking dish. Let rise 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden. Cool slightly.
Prepare frosting by beating cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over warm rolls while still in the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature
Notes
For best results, shape rolls gently after the first rise
Use parchment paper in pans for easier release
Store in airtight container for up to 2 days
For added moisture, brush cooled rolls with simple syrup before frosting (Mix equal parts syrup and water)
