Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add warm milk, warm water, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
While dough rises, cook blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened (about 5–8 minutes). Let cool completely.
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a 14x10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the cooled blueberry filling evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log and slice into 9–12 even rolls.
Place rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest to make the glaze.
Let rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with lemon glaze and serve warm.

Notes

Swap blueberries for raspberries or blackberries for variety.

Add orange zest instead of lemon for a citrus twist.

Top with chopped pecans or almonds before baking for extra texture.

Store-bought dough can be used if you're short on time.

Make mini rolls by slicing thinner—great for parties.

Store at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

To reheat, microwave for 20–30 seconds or bake covered at 300°F for 10–15 minutes.

Glaze may soak in during storage; make extra for reheating if desired.
