Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour
- Active Dry Yeast
- Granulated Sugar
- Salt
- Milk
- Butter
- Eggs
- Cinnamon
- Fresh Raspberries
- Powdered Sugar
- Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Mix in melted butter, eggs, salt, and gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Make the Filling: Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter over it, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Add Raspberries: Evenly distribute fresh raspberries over the filling. Roll up tightly from one long side to another.
- Cut into Rolls: Slice the rolled dough into 1-inch thick pieces and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake and Glaze: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice to create the glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
For added flavor complexity in your glaze, consider incorporating lemon zest.
If using frozen raspberries, drain excess moisture before adding them to prevent sogginess.
Leftover rolls can be stored at room temperature or frozen for later enjoyment.
