Instructions:
- Warm the milk until it is lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C). In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and add the egg white.
- Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and mix on low speed. Otherwise, knead by hand on a lightly floured surface.
- Gradually add the softened butter to the dough, a tablespoon at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next. This process may take several minutes.
- Continue kneading (or mixing) until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky (about 10 minutes).
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, blueberries, and chopped almonds.
- Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangular shape (about 12x16 inches).
- Evenly spread the brown sugar, blueberry, and almond mixture over the dough.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls, cut side up, in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
- Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes until they are puffy and have risen again.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Blueberry Almond Rolls warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Blueberry almond crunch rolls FAQ:
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Yes, you can substitute bread flour with all-purpose flour, but the rolls may be less chewy and not as fluffy due to the lower protein content.
The dough is ready when it has doubled in size, which typically takes 1-2 hours in a warm, draft-free area. You can also gently poke the dough; if it holds the indentation, it's ready.
If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Avoid adding too much flour, as this can make the rolls dense.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure that all ingredients, especially the butter, are at room temperature before starting to mix the dough. This helps in achieving a smoother and more manageable dough.
- For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of 1% fat milk.
- Be gentle when incorporating the blueberries into the dough to prevent them from bursting and making the dough too wet.
- If you prefer a sweeter roll, you can add a bit more brown sugar to the filling.
- Toasting the almonds lightly before adding them to the dough can enhance their flavor and texture.
- Let the brioche rolls rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to settle and to make them easier to handle.
