Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups active sourdough starter
  • 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup browned butter (or melted butter)
  • 2 tbsp honey (or sugar)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (or more if needed)

Instructions

For Dough:

  • Melt 1/4 cup butter over heat until melted and brown bits begin to form in the pan. Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool.
  • Combine flour, sourdough, milk, honey, and butter in a stand mixer until a soft dough ball forms. DO NOT add baking powder/soda or salt at this time.
  • Place dough into a greased bowl, cover, and allow to ferment 8 hours or overnight. (for longer fermentation, place dough in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours)

Filling:

  • In a saucepan, combine blueberries, butter, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and ensure sugar and butter are melted.
  • Sprinkle with cornstarch and mix well over heat until mixture thickens
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Putting It All Together:

  • After fermentation, place dough onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle dough with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Knead dough until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Roll out dough into an approximate 11x15 rectangle.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over dough surface avoiding top edge
  • Spread blueberry mixture over the dough
  • Roll dough into a log starting at the long end
  • Cut into 8 pieces and place into a greased baking dish
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until top is golden brown.

Glaze:

  • Combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk in a bowl until mixed thoroughly. May add extra splash of milk if glaze is too thick.
  • Spread glaze over top of rolls. Serve immediately
