Ingredients

  • Dough
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons natural cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons melted Earth Balance vegan butter or real butter if not vegan
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves optional
  • Blueberry Sauce
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 cup dried wild blueberries
  • Glaze
  • 1 ½ cup natural cane powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk

Instructions

  • Heat almond milk in the microwave in a small bowl for 20 to 25 seconds or until warm to the touch, not too hot or it will kill the yeast.
  • Stir in the sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk, allow to proof for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Prepare a 7x11 or 9x13 by brushing with oil or spraying with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt and thyme. Add in the milk mixture and melted vegan butter.
  • Mix until the dough comes together. Transfer to a floured work surface, sprinkle dough with a small amount of flour and knead dough for 5 minutes.
  • Rub large bowl with vegan butter and place the dough in the bowl, cover and let rise 50 to 60 minutes.
  • While dough is rising place all of the blueberry sauce ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, once boiling reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until sauce has started to thicken. Transfer to a small bowl cover and allow to cool. Such will thicken as it cools.
  • When the dough has doubled in size turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 7x11 rectangle and with a lightly floured rolling pin.
  • Spread half of the blueberry sauce over the dough and sprinkle the wild blueberries over the sauce.
  • Starting with the long edge roll dough tightly.
  • Slice and place in baking dish cover and allow to rise for 60 minutes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until it starts to brown slightly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • While buns are cooling mix together the glaze ingredients until completely smooth.
  • Pour glaze over the buns.
  • Serve buns with some of the blueberry sauce.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Have fun and enjoy!!!
