Ingredients
Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk (warm)

Filling
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries If using frozen, do not thaw completely.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Assemble the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the rectangle tightly from one side, then slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Glaze
- Mix powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over warm rolls.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better integration into the dough. Don’t overmix to ensure soft, fluffy rolls. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for about a week. Can freeze for up to 3 months.
