Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- 1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and let it foam for 5-10 minutes.
- 2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture and melted butter; mix until a rough dough forms.
- 3. Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- 4. Let It Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- 5. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until creamy; gently fold in raspberries.
- 6. Roll It Up: Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly over it, then roll tightly into a log shape.
- 7. Slice the Rolls: Cut into about 12 even pieces using dental floss or a sharp knife.
- 8. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange slices on a greased baking dish; let them rise briefly before baking for about 25-30 minutes.
- 9. Make the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth; drizzle generously over warm rolls after they cool slightly.
Notes
- For added flavor, experiment with different fruits like blueberries or blackberries.
- You can make these rolls ahead of time; refrigerate before baking for fresh rolls in the morning.
