  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) frozen blueberries
  • 6 tablespoon (80g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon (22ml) lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tablespoon (12g) corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) water
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 cups (568g) unbleached bread flour, plus more as needed for rolling and shaping
  • 3 teaspoon (11g) instant quick-rise dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon (10g) fine table salt*
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon (24g) liquid oil such as vegetable, canola, sunflower or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon (28g) salted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk or 2% preferred)
  • more water as necessary for the dough if baking in drier months
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon (30ml) full fat plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) reserved blueberry sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • fresh lemon zest for topping

Instructions

  1. Make the blueberry filling by combining blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the berries thaw and release juices.
  2. Mix water with cornstarch in a separate bowl, then add to the simmering blueberries. Stir to combine.
  3. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat and cool completely before refrigerating for 1 hour.
  4. To prepare the dough, rub lemon zest into granulated sugar until fragrant. In a mixing bowl, combine this mixture with flour, yeast, and salt, ensuring they are not touching.
  5. Add in the egg, oil, milk, and softened butter. Mix using a dough hook for 10-15 minutes until it becomes a smooth dough, adding more water if necessary.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and stretch and fold it several times. Shape into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
  7. Prepare a 13×9-inch baking pan by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
  8. Once the dough has risen, refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm it up for rolling.
  9. Roll the dough into a large rectangle and spread the filling evenly, then either roll it into a log and slice or cut the dough into strips and roll them up individually.
  10. Place the rolls in the prepared pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let proof for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while the rolls rise.
  12. Bake for 23-27 minutes until golden, ensuring the center is cooked through before cooling on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
  13. Make the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, yogurt, reserved blueberry sauce, and vanilla before drizzling over cooled rolls.

Notes

If the dough is too dry, add water in small increments until it reaches the desired consistency.
Allow the rolls to cool completely before icing for a smoother finish.
Use unbleached bread flour for best results.
