The perfect berry should consist mainly of blueberries wrapped in a relatively thin layer of yeast, not too sweet, but definitelybuttery and moist dough.
It's best to use fresh blueberries for the filling, although some add frozen berries. However, the worst thing is to add jams and other berry preserves as filling, which reduce the value of the blueberry and increase its calorific value.
However, in practice, jagodzianki take various forms - you can even find dry rolls with only a shadow of the fruit inside. Blueberries can also be made from ready-made confectionery mixes, and have a caloric fruit filling inside, sprinkled with a sweet coating - such caloric "bombs" should be avoided.
Berries should be made of flour, yeast, milk, sugar, eggs and butter, and of course berries, preferably fresh.
You should certainly avoid hermetically packed blueberries, because they contain ingredients that are to extend their shelf life. In addition, some of them are filled not with fresh berries, but e.g. marmalade or preserves.
For example, a hermetically sealed, gluten-free blueberry cake from one of the popular confectioneries has the following ingredients:
gluten-free wheat starch, fresh blueberry (20%), potato starch, sugar, water, EGGs, vegetable oils (rapeseed, coconut), apple, whey powder (from MILK), cinnamon, acidity regulator: citric acid , raising agent: baking powder (E450, E500), emulsifiers: E472e, E472b, SOY lecithin, s alt, MILK powder, yeast, thickeners: E464, xanthan gum, vanilla flavor, natural lemon flavor, color: annatto.

The composition of another berry, sold in one of the popular hypermarkets, is as follows:
wheat flour, sugar, milk, pasteurized egg mass, fruit purees (apple, chokeberry), blueberry 40%, vegetable oils and fats in varying proportions rapeseed and partially hardened palm, pork fat, yeast, emulsifiers: mono and diglycerides of fatty acids, lecithins, sodium stearoyl lactate, s alt, antioxidants: fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid, a mixture of tocopherols, powdered whey (from milk), skimmed milk powder, buttermilk (from milk), acidity regulator: citric acid, substances thickening: acetylated distarch phosphate, sodium alginate, color: annatto, carotenes, riboflavin, flavor

Jagodzianki - how to make?
The method of their preparation is not difficult, although time-consuming. First, prepare a yeast dough with the right amount of flour, yeast, milk, sugar, eggs and butter.
Knead the whole thing by adding the ingredients in the right order, and then leave it to rise.
Remember to knead the dough (sprinkle it with flour if necessary) until it starts to move away from your hand. After kneading, the dough is rolled out into a thin cake with a thickness of approx. 5 mm and you can cut discs from it with a glass.
For each one put berries sprinkled with flour and sugar, stick them together, put them on a greased baking sheet and leave them to rise, sprinkle them with protein, sprinkle with sugar and bake.
Blueberry yeast rolls should be baked for about 30 minutes, paying attention to their color, so that they do not overcook.
