Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.

Step 2

Warm the milk to about 110°F and stir into the flour mixture until well combined.

Step 3

Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about 12x18 inches.

Step 8

Evenly spread the blueberries over the dough, leaving a small border all around.

Step 9

Roll up the dough tightly from the long side, then slice into 12 equal pieces.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
