Description
Delicious homemade blackberry cinnamon rolls featuring the tangy flavor of fresh blackberries, ideal for starting your day on a sweet note.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk, warm
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Once foamy, add the melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough begins to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and fresh blackberries in a bowl. Gently mash the blackberries to release some juices.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.
- Spread the blackberry mixture evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the log into even pieces, about 1.5 inches wide.
- Place the cut rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover them again and let them rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. You can drizzle them with a simple icing made of powdered sugar and milk if desired.
Notes
Feel free to substitute fresh blackberries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different twist.
