Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp)
1 cup whole milk (warm)
Zest of 2 lemons
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Warm the milk until just warm to the touch. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast, letting it sit until frothy.
Mix in flour, sugar, and salt until combined.
Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl for about an hour.
Prepare filling by mixing softened butter with lemon zest and blueberries.
Roll dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, roll tightly, and slice into 12 equal pieces.
Place in a greased baking dish to rise again while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice; drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
