Warm homemade blueberry rolls start with bread machine dough and are filled with fresh blueberries. Bake them in the oven for golden brown tops and then spread an easy citrus glaze over the warm buns. Such a delicious part of a special weekend or holiday brunch.
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 cups (411g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
For the Blueberry Filling
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange zest from 1 orange, save an additional 1 tablespoon for garnishing the glaze
- 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
For the Orange Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice from 1 orange
Instructions
- Add the ingredients for the dough to the bread machine pan fitted with the paddle attachment in the order they are listed, starting with the milk and ending with the yeast. Be sure to cut the softened butter into chunks and scatter them into the pan so they blend well into the dough. Spoon the flour right on top of the wet ingredients and then sprinkle the sugar and salt around the perimeter of the pan. Use a spoon to dig a shallow well in the center of the flour and place the yeast there.
- Place the bread pan in your bread machine and select the DOUGH program.
- Rub a tablespoon of softened butter all around the inside of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- When the dough is ready, transfer it to a baking mat and roll the dough out to a 20 x 12-inch rectangle.
- Melt the 5 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter evenly all over the surface of the rolled dough.
- Stir together the sugar and orange zest. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly over the top.
- Roll the dough into a log starting at the long edge and working towards you. See photos in post above for clarification. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them cut side up in the prepared baking pan.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the blueberry rolls rise for 20 - 30 minutes in a warm place. They should double in size.
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake at 375°F for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- To make the glaze, stir together the powdered sugar, butter, orange zest, and orange juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm blueberry rolls and serve.
