Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk, lukewarm
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsps instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp (75 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsps ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 lemon zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs in a separate container, then merge with dry ingredients until a cohesive dough forms.
- Kneading and Proofing: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.
- Filling Creation: Mix sugar and cinnamon, gently coating fresh raspberries in the spiced mixture. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangular shape, spreading the raspberry-cinnamon blend evenly across the surface.
- Rolling and Cutting: Tightly roll the dough from the long edge, forming a spiraled log. Slice into 12 equal portions, arranging them cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Allow rolls to rise for 30 minutes, loosely covered.
- Baking and Glazing: Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake rolls until golden brown, approximately 25 minutes. Simultaneously, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract to create a tangy glaze. Once cooled slightly, drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Knead with Patience: Thoroughly massage the dough for a full 10 minutes to develop gluten, ensuring a tender and light texture that melts in your mouth.
- Temperature Matters: Use warm milk (around 110°F) to activate the yeast perfectly without killing its rising potential.
- Raspberry Precision: Gently coat raspberries in cinnamon-sugar to prevent excess moisture from making the rolls soggy during baking.
- Glaze Timing: Apply the lemon-vanilla glaze while rolls are still warm, allowing it to seep into the crevices and create a delectable, glossy finish.
