Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup vegan butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening filling)
- Powdered sugar for glaze (optional)
- 2-3 tbsp plant-based milk for glaze
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Rolling pin
- Baking sheet or round cake pan (9-inch recommended)
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Small saucepan (for warming milk)
- Pastry brush (for brushing melted vegan butter)
- Cooling rack
- Optional: mixer with dough hook attachment
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Warm the plant-based milk in a small saucepan until lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C). Pour into a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy and bubbly.
- Prepare the dough: To the yeast mixture, add the melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, remaining sugar, and salt. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a mixer, knead with a dough hook for 6-7 minutes. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking, but avoid adding too much to keep the dough soft.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Make the blueberry filling: While the dough rises, combine blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch (if using) in a bowl. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
- Roll out the dough: Once risen, punch the dough down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle about 12×16 inches.
- Add the filling: Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Shape the rolls: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Second rise: Place the rolls cut side up in a parchment-lined baking pan, leaving a little space between each. Cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the rolls with melted vegan butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Glaze (optional): While warm, mix powdered sugar with plant-based milk to create a drizzle glaze. Drizzle over the rolls for extra sweetness and shine.
- Cool and serve: Let the rolls cool slightly on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy with your favorite cup of tea or coffee.
Tips & Variations
For best results, use fresh blueberries during their peak season. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess juice to avoid soggy rolls.
Feel free to swap blueberries with other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, or chopped apples for a different twist. You can also add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the filling for added crunch.
If you want a richer dough, substitute part of the plant-based milk with coconut cream or use a vegan yogurt alternative. For a dairy-free icing, try mixing vegan cream cheese with powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla.
To save time, prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it after the first rise. Let it come to room temperature before rolling out and shaping.
