1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, and sugar. Add melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes.
2. Let the dough rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Assemble the rolls: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 16×21-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the dough, followed by the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side. Cut into 12 equal rolls.
