Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk and vegetable oil over low heat until just lukewarm. Avoid overheating.

Step 3

Stir the vanilla extract into the warm almond milk mixture.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Gently punch down the dough and roll it out to a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.

Step 8

Scatter the fresh blueberries and lemon zest evenly over the dough.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge, and then slice into 12 even pieces.

Step 10

Place the buns in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, cut side up, leaving space between each piece.

Step 11

Cover and let the buns rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Bake the blueberry buns for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Step 15

Optional: For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl. Drizzle over the warm buns before serving.
