Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (110F/45C)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Wet and Fat Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Craft the foundational dough by combining dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a soft, cohesive mixture with warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Knead the dough thoroughly on a lightly dusted surface until achieving a silky, elastic texture, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the dough into a lightly greased container, envelop with a clean cloth, and allow it to rise in a cozy environment until it doubles in volume, roughly 60 minutes.
- Gently deflate the risen dough and roll it into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness across the surface. Delicately spread softened butter, creating a uniform layer.
- Generously distribute a cinnamon-sugar blend over the buttered surface, ensuring complete coverage. Carefully scatter fresh raspberries across the dough, maintaining an even distribution.
- Commence rolling the dough from the lengthier edge, creating a tightly wound log. Utilize a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to slice the log into 12 uniform segments.
- Nestle the rolled segments into a greased baking dish, allowing them to rest and expand for an additional 30-45 minutes in a warm location until they appear plump and pillowy.
- Heat the oven to 350F and bake the rolls until they develop a golden-brown exterior, approximately 20-25 minutes. Remove and allow slight cooling.
- Prepare a vibrant lemon glaze by whisking powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice, milk, and delicate lemon zest until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Generously drizzle the zesty glaze over the warm rolls, ensuring complete and elegant coverage. Serve immediately while maintaining optimal warmth and tenderness.
Notes
- Choose fresh, ripe raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and color in your rolls.
- Ensure milk is warm but not hot to activate yeast without killing it, around 110°F is perfect.
- Use dental floss for clean, precise slice cuts when dividing the rolled dough to maintain uniform roll sizes.
- Frozen raspberries work well if fresh aren’t available, just pat them dry to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
