Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (110°F)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.
Warm the milk to about 110°F and stir into the flour mixture until well combined.
Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, stirring continuously to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
Evenly spread the blueberries over the dough, leaving a small border all around.
Roll up the dough tightly from the long side, then slice into 12 equal pieces.
Place the buns in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
Allow the buns to slightly cool, then drizzle with the prepared lemon glaze.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
