Servings6 rolls

Ingredients

For the buns
  • 500 g strong bread flour
  • 30 g white sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 7 g instant dried yeast
  • 350 ml lukewarm water
For the filling
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup blueberry jam (the more the better!)
For the icing
  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 1-5 tbsp water (added gradually)
  • drop purple food coloring (can mix red and blue)

Instructions

  • Add all the bun ingredients (apart from the water) to a stand mixer. Give it a quick whisk and put it on a slow speed, then gradually add the water. When the dough comes together, knead it on medium speed for about 8-10 mins. Add clingfilm to the top of the bowl and leave to prove for 1 hour.
  • After the dough has doubled in size, transfer it to a well-floured surface and roll it out into a big rectangle, about 36×20-cm (the same size as a kitchen towel).
  • Spread the butter on top of the rolled-out dough, followed by as much jam as you dare, and finish by adding the white sugar. Then cut the dough into 6 equal lines. Roll each one up and pop into a baking tin. Let the rolls rise for another hour.
  • Preheat oven to 180°c degrees. While the oven is heating you can make the icing. Add icing sugar, water and food coloring to a bowl and mix well, and set aside.
  • Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes but keep an eye on them. If they start getting brown too fast, you can add foil on top.
  • Once cooked, let them cool for 10 minutes, then add the frosting and enjoy while they're still warm.
