Ingredients with Measurements:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix on low speed until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and warm milk. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

4. Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
7. Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking dish. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly into the dish.
8. Scatter blueberries over the dough and press them in slightly.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
