Ingredients
Scale
Yeast and Dry Ingredients:
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Raspberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a delicate dough by blending flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel. Incorporate warm milk, melted butter, and a single egg, stirring until a supple texture emerges. Tenderly knead the mixture on a flour-dusted surface for approximately 7 minutes, developing a smooth, elastic consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a greased container, shield with a cloth, and allow it to rise in a cozy environment for 60 minutes until it doubles in volume.
- Prepare the raspberry compote by simmering raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a compact saucepan over medium heat. Stir consistently until the mixture thickens and transforms into a vibrant, glossy filling. Cool completely.
- Unfurl the risen dough into a rectangular shape spanning 12-15 inches. Generously distribute the cooled raspberry mixture across the surface, maintaining a slight border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough into a compact log, then slice into 12 uniform segments. Nestle the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Allow the rolls to proof for an additional 30 minutes, expanding in volume and developing texture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they achieve a golden, appetizing hue.
- Whip the glaze by blending cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until silky smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls just before serving.
Notes
- Choose fresh, ripe raspberries for a more intense and vibrant fruit flavor that elevates the entire sweet roll experience.
- Work with room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth dough mixing and consistent rise, preventing any potential lumps or uneven texture.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten, which creates a soft, pillowy texture that melts in your mouth with each bite.
- Allow sufficient rising time in a warm, draft-free area to help the dough expand and create light, airy rolls with delicate crumb structure.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a blend of gluten-free flour and add xanthan gum to improve dough elasticity.
- Control the raspberry filling’s consistency by cooking it slowly and stirring constantly to prevent burning and achieve a perfect jammy texture.
