Step 1

For the dough, place the flour, sugar, and yeast into the bowl of a freestanding mixer fitted with a dough hook.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk, 100ml water, and butter until the butter has melted. Check that the mixture is lukewarm - it needs to be warm enough to activate the yeast but not hot. With the mixer running slowly, pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and knead with the dough hook for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Lightly brush a mixing bowl with oil and transfer the dough into it. Cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, which will take about 2 hours. If your oven has a proving function, you can leave it in at 40C Fan for around 1 hour instead.

Step 4

Once risen, tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knock it back by kneading for a few minutes to release the air. Butter a 23cm round springform tin.

Step 5

Roll the dough out into a rectangle, then scatter over the blueberries, orange zest, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Starting from one long side, roll the dough up tightly, like a Swiss roll. Slice into 10-12 swirls and arrange them cut-side up in the buttered tin.

Step 6

Brush the top lightly with oil and set aside in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size again.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 200C. Brush the dough with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool before serving.
