Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup icing sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, warm the milk until lukewarm, then sprinkle the yeast into it and let sit until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and yeast mixture; stir until combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.
  4. While dough rises, combine blueberries with lemon zest and sugar in a bowl.
  5. Roll out risen dough to a rectangle (1/4 inch thick). Spread blueberry filling evenly and fold sides inward. Cut into strips and knot each strip.
  6. Arrange knots on parchment-lined baking sheets, let rise for another 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Drizzle lemon glaze over warm rolls before serving.
