Description

Fluffy yeast rolls swirled with cinnamon sugar and tangy blackberries bake to golden perfection, then get a drizzle of smooth vanilla glaze that melts into warm, pillowy layers.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk until it is between 105°F and 110°F, then stir in the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar; let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl combine the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, egg, and yeast mixture; mix well.
  3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Meanwhile, gently mash the blackberries and set aside.
  7. On a floured surface roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
  8. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.
  9. Scatter the mashed blackberries over the cinnamon layer.
  10. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch the seam to seal.
  11. Cut the log into 12 equal rolls and place them cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
  12. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
  13. Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  14. While the rolls bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  15. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use a mixture of blackberries and blueberries.
  • Ensure the milk is not too hot when activating yeast or it may kill the yeast.
  • You can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate; let it come to room temperature before rolling.
  • Serve the rolls warm for the best texture and flavor.
