Pop Quiz: What do Breakfast Rolls and Dental Floss have in common?
Keep reading all about our latest winning recipe to find out!
The easiest way to slice any kind of cinnamon roll dough is with a strand of dental floss. In this recipe the filled dough is rolled into a 12-inch log and sliced into 12 pieces. If you were to use a knife the beautiful rolls would be smashed and misshapen. However, if you wrap a strand of dental floss underneath the dough, wrap it around and quickly tie it off, the rolls maintain their beautiful round shape. Give it a try! It is fast, easy and fun. What other time do you get a chance to use floss before the meal!
Blueberry Hill Breakfast Rolls (click here to view and print recipe)
1/4 cup Milk
1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
3 Tbsp Butter
1 pkg Dry Yeast
1/4 cup Warm Water, 105-115 degrees f
2 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour, divided
1 Large Egg
2 Tbsp Butter, softened
⅓ cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 cup Blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 Tbsp Butter, melted
1 cup Powdered Sugar, sifted
2 Tbsp Milk
Directions:
Combine 1/4 Cup milk, sugar, salt, and 3 Tablespoons butter in a saucepan and heat until butter melts. Cool to 105º F to 115º F.
Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in milk mixture, 1-1/2 Cups flour, and egg. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in remaining 3/4 Cup flour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, 85º F, free from drafts, for 1 hour. Dough will not quite double in bulk.
Punch dough down and turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 12×8-inch rectangle and spread with 2 Tablespoons butter. Combine brown sugar and spice mix and sprinkle mixture over rectangle. Sprinkle with blueberries.
Roll dough up jellyroll fashion, starting at long side. Pinch seam and cut into rolls. Place on baking pan. Brush tops with 1 Tablespoon melted butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, about 40 minutes (rolls will not double in bulk). Bake at 350º F for 35 minutes. Combine powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons milk, stirring well. Drizzle over warm rolls.
Note: dough can be prepared the night before, placed on a baking sheet, covered and refrigerated overnight, then baked as above. Stale rolls can be made into bread pudding or French toast…(if any are left)
Round of applause for Diane Halferty (aka “WildThing” on Better Recipes) for creating the winning dish this week! Her “Blueberry Hill Breakfast Rolls” came out on top during the blueberry themed week. Diane says, “I have been making these rolls for years, and use various fruits depending on the season. Here in Texas we get fabulous blueberries and they really worked well in the recipe.”
Diana’s motto is,”Eat and drink well, enjoy without guilt and share your good fortune with others.” I am certainly glad she decided to share this fantastic recipe with all of us!
