Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle approximately 12x16 inches thick.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly across the rolled-out dough.
- Distribute fresh blueberries evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
- While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls before serving.
Tips
- Dough Consistency is Key: Make sure your dough is slightly sticky but manageable. If it's too dry, add a little more milk; if too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
- Blueberry Placement: Distribute blueberries evenly to ensure each roll gets a burst of fruity flavor. Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen can work too - just don't thaw them first!
- Rolling Technique: When rolling the dough, use a gentle but firm touch to create a tight log. This helps ensure even cooking and beautiful spiral patterns.
- Glaze While Warm: Drizzle the glaze over the rolls while they're still slightly warm for the best absorption and most appetizing look.
- Storage Hack: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate. Just let them come to room temperature before baking.
- Customize Your Glaze: Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze for extra flavor!
