Instructions

  6. Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into individual rolls.
  8. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Mix powdered sugar with blueberry puree or juice and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
  12. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used but should be cooked thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  • Add lemon zest for extra brightness and flavor.
  • For a richer topping, use a cream cheese glaze instead.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently to maintain softness.
