Step 1, 2 & 3

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, lemon zest, and instant yeast. Stir until evenly distributed. Add the cubed butter and work it in with your fingers until the butter is well incorporated and in very small pieces. Make a well in the center and add the warm milk. Stir until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 7-10 minutes until it becomes elastic, smoother, and stretches more than it tears. The dough will be very sticky, so avoid adding much more flour – no more than ¼ cup. Place the dough ball in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Assemble the Rolls: Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or stretch it into a rectangle about 14” x 20”.

Step 6

Brush 2 tablespoons of very soft butter onto the surface, leaving one long edge butter-free to seal the rolls. Spread the blueberry jam in an even layer across the buttered surface, leaving the same edge clear.
