Ingredients

Scale
  • Dough:
    • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
    • 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Filling:
    • 1 cup fresh raspberries
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • Lemon Glaze:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture; mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
  7. Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raspberries.
  8. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
  9. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
  11. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Prepare the rolls up to the second rise, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Allow to come to room temperature before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Substitutions: Use frozen raspberries if fresh are unavailable; adjust sugar based on sweetness preference.
