Description
Delicious raspberry cinnamon rolls topped with a fresh lemon glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until slightly foamy. Stir in sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Create the Filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon across the dough, pressing gently so it sticks. Scatter fresh raspberries evenly on top.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 12 even rolls using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss for clean cuts. Arrange them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Make the Lemon Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls.
Notes
- The aroma of cinnamon and berries filling your kitchen is worth every minute of waiting.
- The glaze seeps into every swirl, creating that signature sweet-tart finish.
