Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix Ingredients: Gradually add flour, salt, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Let rise until doubled in size (approximately 1 hour).
- Create Filling: In a separate bowl, mix blueberries with sugar and lemon juice; set aside.
- Roll Out Dough: Punch down risen dough and roll into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread blueberry mixture evenly across leaving edges clear.
- Form Rolls: Starting from one edge, roll tightly into a log shape. Slice into pieces about 1-2 inches thick.
- Bake Rolls: Place slices in a greased baking dish and let rise for an additional 30 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Add Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice; drizzle over warm rolls.
