Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
Filling
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Lemon Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and instant yeast. Add milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix everything until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface, ensuring an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Add Filling: Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon over the dough. Distribute the raspberries on top and gently press them into the dough so they stay in place when rolled.
- Form Rolls: Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, starting from one long edge. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Lemon Glaze: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Glaze the Rolls: Once the rolls are warm from the oven, drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raspberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
- If you prefer, substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative like almond milk to make it lactose-free.
- The rolls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month; reheat before serving.
- Adjust cinnamon amount based on your spice preference.
- Ensure dough is kneaded well to develop gluten for fluffy rolls.
