- 1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1/2 cup Blueberry noosa yoghurt
- 1/2 cup Lemon noosa yoghurt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- For the filling:
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup Blueberry noosa yoghurt
- 1/4 cup Lemon noosa yoghurt
STEPS
Activate the yeast:
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Prepare the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture, Blueberry Noosa yogurt, sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough forms a soft ball.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the filling:
In a small bowl, mix together the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Blueberry Noosa yogurt. Set aside.
Assemble the rolls:
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the dough.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a tight log.
Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Let the rolls rise again:
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they are puffy.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Make the glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Glaze the rolls:
Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the top.
Serve and enjoy!
