  4. Punch down the dough, roll out into a rectangle of approximately 16x12 inches.
  5. Brush dough with melted butter, mix brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over, and add blueberries.
  6. Roll tightly into a log, slice into 12 equal pieces, and place in a greased baking dish.
  7. Cover and let rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F, bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. For frosting, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, and frost rolls while warm.
