1
Baking Tip
Make sure the milk is warm (not hot) for the dough to rise properly.
2
Variation
Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the blueberry filling for a spiced twist.
Notes
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, melted butter, and the egg. Mix until well combined. Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3
While the dough is rising, prepare the blueberry filling. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4
Once risen, punch down the dough. On a floured surface, roll it out into a 15x12 inch (38x30cm) rectangle.
5
Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the dough rectangle.
6
Starting from the long side, roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 even pieces.
7
Place the rolls cut side up in a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
8
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
9
For the lemon glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth.
10
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
