What Are Lemon Blueberry Rolls?

The combination of blueberry and lemon tastes heavenly paired together, and it will leave you wanting more. These rolls are perfect to have as a dessert, but you might even want to eat them for breakfast. They come in handy when you’re headed out the door and need to grab a bite to eat.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make the Lemon Blueberry Rolls

If you’re planning on preparing these Lemon Blueberry Rolls, you’re going to need several important ingredients, including:

• Instant Rise Yeast. You’ll use this yeast to create your dough for the rolls.
• Unsalted Butter. Add the butter to the mixture to give it more flavor.
• All-Purpose Flour. Scoop and level your flour before using it.
• Granulated Sugar. Make your dough sweeter using granulated sugar.
• Olive Oil. You’ll use the olive oil during the resting period when you’re waiting for the dough to rise.

To complete the dough for this Lemon Blueberry goodness you’re also going to need salt, milk, water, and egg. Along with these ingredients for the dough, you’re going to need the following ingredients to prepare the filling:

• Blueberries. Make sure your blueberries are frozen before you prepare the filling.
• Lemon Zest. Zest one large lemon and add it to your blueberries.
• Granulated Sugar. Create a sweeter filling using granulated sugar.
• Cornstarch. You’ll need just a tad bit of the cornstarch to make the filling a bit thicker.

Do I Use Fresh Blueberries?

You can buy fresh blueberries for this recipe, but you’ll need to place them in the freezer until they’re completely frozen before using them. If you’re using frozen blueberries from a bag, do not thaw them out. You can add them to the mixture while they’re as cold as possible.

Which Type of Butter Do I Need to Use?

It’s important to use unsalted butter because you don’t want your Lemon Blueberry Rolls to have a salty taste to them. You can use any brand of unsalted butter, including the generic brands from grocery stores.

What Will I Need to Make the Glaze?

When adding the glaze to your Lemon Blueberry Rolls, you’ll need to combine the juice of one lemon with a cup of confectioners’ sugar, and up to two tablespoons of milk. If you don’t want to use milk, you can use heavy cream or half-and-half as alternatives. The glaze will have a citrus-like sweet taste that goes perfectly with the rolls.

How to Store the Lemon Blueberry Rolls

After preparing your Lemon Blueberry Rolls, allow them to cool before you stick them in an airtight food storage container with a lid. You can leave them on your countertop for three days or keep them refrigerated for up to five days to stay fresh. Eat them cold, room temperature, or warm by microwaving them for a few seconds.
