let's do it
  1. Thaw bread dough according to directions on package.
  2. Generously grease 9" x 9" square cake pan or 9" round cake pan.
  3. Roll out bread dough on lightly floured surface into 12" x 12" square. Spread butter onto dough, reserving 1 Tbsp. Combine granulated sugar, lemon zest and salt and spread over buttered dough. Place blueberries evenly over surface of dough.
  4. Roll dough like a jellyroll and pinch edges to seal. Slice the rolled up dough into 12 equal slices and place into prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap or dish towel and move pan to a warm, moist environment until doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove plastic wrap or towel and bake 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  6. Remove from oven, brush with remaining butter and set aside to cool
  7. While rolls are cooling, place all ingredients for glaze into bowl, whisk until well combined and no lumps remain. Pour or spread glaze over slightly warm rolls.
