Ingredients
Scale
For the dough:
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- ¾ cup fresh or frozen raspberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add sugar, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter, and mix until combined. Stir in flour and salt, then knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Filling and Rolling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and scatter the raspberries over the top. Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge and slice into 9 equal rolls. Place in a greased 9-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
- Baking and Glazing: Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. While the rolls bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- For a brighter glaze, add a touch of extra zest or swap in orange juice.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
