Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cream or milk (for the glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk and mix it with yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, and egg. Knead until a soft dough forms. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- Roll and Fill: Roll out the dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Evenly spread the blueberry filling over the dough, leaving a small border. Roll it up tightly from the long side.
- Slice and Rise: Cut into 12 even rolls and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise until puffy (about 30 minutes).
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cream/milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries or drain frozen ones before using.
- To prevent filling from leaking, roll the dough tightly and leave a border.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days.
