Blueberry Lemon Sweet Roll Focaccia

Blueberry Lemon Sweet Roll Focaccia

  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

A hybrid dessert combining the pillowy softness of focaccia bread with the citrusy sweetness of blueberry lemon rolls, topped with a zesty lemon glaze. Perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or a unique dessert twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (450g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm milk
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine lukewarm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, the yeast mixture, and melted butter. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  3. Let it rise: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1-2 hours in a warm spot until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare the toppings: Wash the blueberries and zest the lemon. Set aside.
  5. Shape the dough: Grease a 9×13-inch pan and gently press the risen dough into it, creating an even layer.
  6. Add the toppings: Scatter the blueberries evenly over the dough and sprinkle with lemon zest. Lightly press them into the dough.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Make the glaze: Mix powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  9. Glaze and serve: Once the focaccia cools slightly, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, use fresh blueberries in summer or frozen ones year-round without thawing. Adjust the glaze’s sweetness and tartness to your preference. Allow the dough to rise fully for optimal texture.
