Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warm
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm milk, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add the flour, salt, and lemon zest to the wet ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, roll dough into a rectangle roughly 12×18 inches.
  6. Scatter fresh blueberries evenly over the dough, then gently roll it up from the long side, sealing the edge.
  7. Cut the roll into 9 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  8. Cover and let the rolls rise for another 1-2 hours until puffy.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. While baking, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make glaze.
  11. Remove rolls from oven and drizzle with lemon glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans over the rolls before baking or add a dollop of cream cheese frosting instead of glaze.
