2. Add the softened butter and eggs, and knead the dough until it comes together and is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle.

Notes
For a more intense blueberry flavor, you can use frozen blueberries. You can also swap out the blueberries for other fruits, such as raspberries or blackberries.
