Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Dough Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
Filling and Glaze Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Activate yeast by dissolving it in warm milk at 110F, allowing it to become frothy and develop for 5 minutes.
- Create soft dough by combining yeast mixture with sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and flour, mixing until a cohesive texture forms.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead thoroughly for 5 minutes, developing a smooth and elastic consistency.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour until volume doubles.
- Prepare filling by mixing cinnamon and sugar in a separate container.
- Roll out dough into a thin rectangular shape, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Generously brush melted butter across the entire dough surface.
- Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly, ensuring complete coverage.
- Distribute fresh raspberries across the prepared dough.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long edge, creating a compact log.
- Slice the log into 12 equal portions using a sharp knife or dental floss technique.
- Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, allowing them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) prior to baking.
- Bake rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown and releasing a fragrant aroma.
- Prepare lemon glaze by whisking powdered sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon zest until achieving a smooth consistency.
- Drizzle glaze over slightly cooled rolls, ensuring even coverage.
- Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of flavors.
Notes
- Activate yeast carefully by ensuring milk temperature is precisely 110F to create the perfect frothy environment for rising.
- Select fresh, ripe raspberries to prevent excess moisture from making the dough soggy during rolling and baking.
- Use dental floss for clean, even roll slicing to maintain uniform size and professional presentation.
- Adjust glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar for thicker texture or more lemon juice for thinner drizzle, depending on personal preference.
