We loved these! They do take a little time, they are like cinnamon rolls, but with delicious berries.
3-4 1/4 C Flour
3 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
3/4 C warm milk
1/2 C warm water
1/3 C oil
1/4 C sugar
Filling:
1/4 C softened butter
1/3 C sugar
4 C heaping, frozen berries of choice DO NOT THAW
2 tsp cornstarch
Glaze (There are two options. I did the powdered sugar one and it was amazing!)
Powder sugar Glaze:
2 C powdered sugar
2 Tbsp melted butter
2-3 Tbsp milk
Splash of Vanilla
Cream Cheese Glaze:
8 oz. cream cheese
2 Tbsp softened butter
3-4 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
Splash of Vanilla
Milk (To thin as needed)
Make the sweet rolls. Combine 2 C of flour, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add warm milk, water, sweetener and oil, blending until mixture is combined and smooth. Knead in extra flour, a little at a time, until it forms a soft dough. Careful not to add too much flour or rolls will be dry and hard. Cover and let dough rest in a warm place for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl fold together frozen berries and cornstarch. Set aside. (Make berry and cornstarch mixture right before or after rolling out dough. You do not want berries to thaw or it will make cutting the rolls harder.)
Place dough on lightly floured surface and roll into a large, thin rectangle. Spread softened butter generously over the surface of the dough and sprinkle evenly with sugar and berries. Beginning at the long edge of the rectangle, tightly roll dough into a log. You can use a sharp knife, but I prefer to cut each roll with dental floss. Cut even slices and put them into a greased 9 by 13 pan. If the berries fall out, just push them back in. Cover with clean kitchen towel and let rise for about 1 hour. Until the rolls have slightly risen.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pan on middle rack and bake for 30-40 minutes. You want the rolls to be a little golden on top so that the middle of the rolls are cooked through. Let them cool. Top with your favorite glaze. It makes 12 rolls.
