Ingredients
Scale
- For the dough:
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warm
- 1/4 cup water, warm
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- For the filling:
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- For the Meyer lemon glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp Meyer lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add warm milk, water, melted butter, and egg. Stir until combined.
- Gradually add remaining flour until dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: in a saucepan, combine berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Roll out the dough into a 10×15 inch rectangle.
- Spread the cooled berry filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 12 rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, Meyer lemon juice, and vanilla to make glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
You can use fresh berries, but reduce the cooking time of the filling. Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic than regular lemons, but either works in the glaze.
