Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for glaze (optional)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warmed milk, sugar, melted butter, egg, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, kneading until a soft, elastic dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 12×16 inches.
- Sprinkle evenly with fresh blueberries and gently press them into the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut into 9 equal rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 1-2 hours until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice to create a glaze, and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle some finely chopped lemon zest on top before baking or add a cream cheese frosting instead of the glaze.
