Ingredients
Sweet Roll Dough
- 2/3 cup water, about 75°F
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 cup all-purpose flour* or bread flour*
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup water, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoons salt
- 4 cups bread flour*
- 3 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup water lukewarm
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, soft
Blackberry Filling
- 1 jar (15-oz) blackberry fruit spread (fruit spread contains more fruit than jam)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup almond flour/meal
- 2 cups pecan pieces
Blackberry Glaze
- 1/2 of a 6-ounce package of fresh blackberries (if using frozen, defrost fully first)
- 1 cup Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine first listed water with first listed yeast. Add first listed flour and mix smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour in a warm area.
- In mixing bowl add eggs, room temperature water, vanilla, sugar, honey, salt, and remaining flour.
- Combine yeast with lukewarm water and place on top of flour.
- Either with hands or using a dough hook attachment, mix until dough becomes elastic and smooth, about 5-7 minutes. (Medium speed if using stand mixer.)
- Flour brands vary in amount of moisture they absorb. If needed, add a touch of flour. However, dough should be soft and elastic, not dry and firm.
- Gradually add pieces of butter to dough allowing it to be fully incorporated before adding next amount. When incorporated stop mixing.
- Cover bowl with plastic food wrap and set in a warm place and allow dough to rise until doubled in volume, about 60-80 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare filling by combining blackberry fruit spread with cinnamon and almond flour. Do not add pecans yet. Set aside. Do not refrigerate as cold filling will slow down the rising process.
- Prepare 3, 8-inch (or 9-inch) round cake pans, line bottom with parchment paper and brush sides liberally with butter. Set aside.
- When dough has doubled in size remove from bowl. This will make dough collapse and is normal and is required.
- On a well-floured surface roll dough into a rectangle measuring roughly 20-inches long and 18-inches wide.
- Spread blackberry filling evenly over surface and sprinkle with pecan pieces.
- Starting from bottom edge roll dough forward into a long roll. Cut dough crosswise in 21 equal rolls. (A ruler can help with equal sizing.)
- Place 7 rolls per pan and cover with plastic food wrap.
- Place in a warm place until rolls have gained about 75% in volume, this will take at least 1 hour but can be more depending on room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 340°F.
- For glaze, place blackberries in a blender and puree until completely liquified. Add powdered sugar and mix smooth. Cover and set aside.
- Place proofed buns in oven and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Once lukewarm or cooled, spread blackberry glaze over surface of rolls.
- Decorate with remaining blackberries.
