Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon water (optional for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk and vegetable oil over low heat until just lukewarm. Avoid overheating.
Stir the vanilla extract into the warm almond milk mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Gently punch down the dough and roll it out to a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.
Scatter the fresh blueberries and lemon zest evenly over the dough.
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge, and then slice into 12 even pieces.
Place the buns in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, cut side up, leaving space between each piece.
Cover and let the buns rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the blueberry buns for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Optional: For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl. Drizzle over the warm buns before serving.
