Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat together Bisquick and enough water to make a mixture of biscuit consistency.
- Pour the mixture onto a floured board and roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness, approximately 10 to 12 inches in diameter.
- Spread the blackberries evenly over the rolled dough, using frozen blackberries if preferred.
- Carefully roll up the dough like a jelly roll, then fit into a round casserole dish.
- Mix 1 cup of water with 1 cup of sugar to create a syrup.
- Pour the sugar syrup over the blackberry roll.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly different flavor, consider adding a bit of lemon zest to the dough to enhance the blackberry's tartness. If fresh blackberries are not available, frozen blackberries work just as well; just be sure to drain excess liquid before adding them to the dough. You can also substitute Bisquick with a homemade biscuit mix or gluten-free flour for a variation in texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Blackberry Rolli Bolli warm, drizzled with additional syrup if desired. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert experience. You could also serve it alongside a light salad, such as Cranberry Orange Delight Salad, for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to restore the crispness of the dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of blackberries?
Absolutely! This recipe is versatile, and you can substitute blackberries with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even sliced strawberries. Just keep in mind that the sweetness and tartness may vary, so adjust the sugar in the syrup accordingly.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?

Can I prepare this in advance?
You can prepare the dough and roll it up with the blackberries a few hours in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Just make sure to let the roll come to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
