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 15x9-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.

Notes

For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the blueberry filling.
