Bread:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 1 c. flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
In a small saucepan, cook butter with water, milk and vanilla over low heat until butter is just melted and mixture is 120 degrees.
Pour butter mixture into flour mixture; beat with paddle attachment on low speed until just combined. Add egg; beat until just combined. Change to the dough hook; slowly add remaining flour, but reserving 2 T. for an adjustment later.
Knead dough on low until there's a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Add some or all of the remaining 2 T. flour, if necessary.
Shape dough into a round; place in an oiled bowl or dough rising bucket. Turn dough to oil the top. Cover; let rise until doubled, 30 - 45 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a work surface; press into an 8x6" rectangle. Wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 - 18 hours.
Line an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" bread pan with parchment paper; spray with cooking spray.
Roll dough out to a 13"" x 10" rectangle. Spread roasted blueberries over dough, leaving a 1/2" border on the edges.
Cut dough into 4 rectangles, 10" x 3 1/4". Stack rectangular strips on top of each other; cut stacks into 4 even rectangles.
Turn loaf pan onto its end; stack rectangles on top of each other from one end of the pan to the other. Turn pan right side up; loosely cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake 15 minutes; tent with aluminum foil. Bake for another 25 - 30 minutes, until loaf reaches 190 degrees.
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes; remove from pan. Drizzle with lemon glaze.
