Decoration Tips:

After drizzling with the glaze, top these rolls with a few fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra color and zest. Serve them warm for the best experience, allowing the glaze to melt slightly into the rolls.

Dough:

• 2-1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (or instant yeast)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup warm milk
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Blueberry Filling:

• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange or lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon water

Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough: If using active dry yeast, mix the yeast with warm milk and sugar and let it proof for 10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine the proofed yeast mixture (or add instant yeast directly with other dry ingredients), melted butter, sugar, egg, salt, and gradually add flour. Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until elastic. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size.
2. Make the Filling: In a saucepan, cook blueberries with granulated sugar and citrus juice until the berries release their juices and the mixture begins to bubble. Combine water and flour to make a slurry and stir into the blueberry mixture to thicken. Set aside to cool.
3. Assemble Rolls: Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the thickened blueberry sauce over this. Cut the dough into slices using a string or serrated knife. Place slices in a baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
5. Prepare the Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
6. Finish: Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

Enjoy these Heavenly Blueberry Rolls, a delicious treat that combines the freshness of blueberries with the warmth of homemade bread, all topped off with a sweet, citrusy glaze!
