Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 to 1 cup blueberry jam
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and brown sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Add the melted salted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Spread the blueberry jam evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the jam.
  • Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Cover the cinnamon rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during this time.
  • Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the warm maple icing over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the yeast proofing step; it’s crucial for fluffy rolls.
  • Ensure your butter is melted but not hot; too much heat can kill the yeast.
