Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 – 4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Berry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk (or cream for a richer glaze)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Stir in the activated yeast mixture.
- Add Flour: Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Prepare the Berry Filling
- Cook the Berries: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
- Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
- Add the Filling: Spread the cooled berry mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Roll and Slice: Starting at one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Step 4: Second Rise and Bake
- Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, cover with a towel, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 5: Glaze and Serve
- Make the Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
- Serve: Serve the rolls warm and enjoy the juicy, sweet goodness!
