→ For the Raspberry Filling
09 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
10 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
11 -
1 cup fresh raspberries
→ For the Lemon Glaze
12 -
1 cup powdered sugar
13 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
14 -
Zest of 1 lemon
15 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, yeast, salt) in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, melted butter, oil, and eggs). Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
02 -
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
03 -
While the dough rises, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon. Toss the fresh raspberries in this mixture until evenly coated.
04 -
Once doubled, roll the dough on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread the raspberry-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
05 -
Using a sharp knife or dental floss, slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Place them cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes until puffy.
06 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for approximately 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
07 -
While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach your desired consistency.
08 -
Drizzle the lemon glaze generously over the slightly cooled rolls, allowing it to seep into all the crevices. Serve while still warm for the best taste experience.
# Notes:
01 -
For the perfect proof, ensure your kitchen is warm enough to help the yeast activate. If needed, preheat your oven on low, turn it off, and place the dough inside.
02 -
Use dental floss to slice the roll into even pieces without squishing the dough - simply slide it under the log, cross over the top, and pull.
