Blueberry Sweet Rolls with Lemon Glaze

Servings 16 sweet rolls

Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 1 c. milk
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • Tbsp active dry yeast 2 packets
  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 4 c. bread flour

For the Filling

  • 1 – 10 to 12oz package frozen blueberries still frozen
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch

For the Glaze

  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat milk to 95° in the microwave or in a saucepan. Add milk and sugar to a stand mix bowl. Stir together with a spoon, then sprinkle yeast over the mixture. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add butter, eggs, and salt and mix with hook attachment on low. Beat in flour and increase speed to medium. Continue beating for 3 minutes, or until a soft dough forms.
  • Increase speed to medium-high and beat dough for 10 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour by the spoonful.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour, or until double in size.
  • Line the bottom of a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle a little flour on the counter top and place the dough ball on top. Roll into a 10×24 inch rectangle.
  • Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch of space along the bottom length of the rectangle. Sprinkle the frozen blueberries over the sugar and cornstarch.
  • Tightly roll dough to form a 24-inch log. Working quickly, cut the dough log in half, then cut each of those two pieces in half, making four separate dough logs. Cut each dough log into 4 evenly sized slices. Place each roll in the prepared pan, cut sides up.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400° and bake rolls for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before adding glaze.
  • Prepare glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla. Drizzle glaze over rolls and serve.
