How to Make Lemon Blueberry Swirl Buns :

Step 1

First of all warming the milk until it is warm but not hot. Add the yeast and a small spoon of sugar, then let it sit until foamy. This shows the yeast is active and ready.

Step 2

Along the way in a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, then cover and let it rise until doubled in size and while the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix sugar with lemon zest. This releases the lemon oils and boosts flavor. Set aside. Wash and dry the blueberries if using fresh ones.

Step 3

Once that’s done dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the lemon sugar mixture across the surface, then scatter the blueberries evenly on top.

Step 4

Finally roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into even pieces and place them into a greased baking dish. Cover and let the buns rise again until puffy then bake until golden and soft. While warm, drizzle with a simple glaze if desired.

Let cool slightly before serving.
