Equipment:
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Rolling pin
- Baking dish
- Spatula
Ingredients:
Dough:
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Beat until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Make the Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix until the blueberries are well coated.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 15×9-inch rectangle. Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the dough.
- Starting from a long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the rolls to cool slightly.
- Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the blueberry filling.
- These rolls can be prepared the night before. Simply cover and refrigerate after assembling, then bake in the morning.
