Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Glaze:
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Whisk flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest. Mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Toss blueberries with cornstarch. In a separate bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
4. Roll dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread lemon butter evenly and sprinkle blueberries over top.
5. Roll dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal rolls. Place in greased 9×13-inch pan.
6. Cover and let rise again for 1 hour until puffy.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
8. Whisk glaze ingredients together and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Do not overproof the dough, rolls should be doubled, not tripled in size.
- Coating blueberries with cornstarch prevents excess bleeding.
- Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
- For extra lemon flavor, add additional zest to the glaze.
- Rolls can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
