Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
For the Filling:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1/2 cup blueberry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (or lemon juice for a tangy twist)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix the fresh blueberries, blueberry pie filling, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and softened butter until well combined.
- Roll and Fill:
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (16×12 inches).
- Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge and pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Second Rise:
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Glaze:
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle and Serve:
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding lemon zest to the filling or glaze.
- These rolls can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
