Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 grams (3 cups) frozen wild blueberries
  • 100 grams (½ cup) granulated sugar
  • 100 grams (½ cup) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 313 grams (2 ½ cups) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 71 grams (5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into cubes
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry jam
  • 30 grams (¼ cup) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a pot, combine frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Heat until defrosted.
  • Mix cornstarch with water and add to blueberries. Simmer until thickened, reserving some jam for later.
  • Combine flour, salt, and nutmeg in a mixer. Warm milk, mix with yeast and sugar, then combine with dry ingredients along with eggs and vanilla.
  • Add room temperature butter gradually, knead until smooth.
  • Let the dough rise in a greased bowl until doubled.
  • Roll out dough, spread with blueberry jam, and fold.
  • Slice into pieces, twist and place in a baking pan. Let rise again.
  • Preheat oven, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with remaining jam, and bake until golden.
  • Prepare glaze with jam, powdered sugar, and milk, and pour over warm rolls.

Notes

Ensure your yeast is fresh for proper rising.
Allow filled rolls to rise in a warm spot for quicker proofing.
Don’t skip the second rise for fluffy texture.
