Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Dough:

    • 4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/4 cups milk, lukewarm
    • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 2 large eggs
  • For the Raspberry Filling:

    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1 cup fresh raspberries, finely chopped or minced

 

  • For the Lemon Glaze:

    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together lukewarm milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry:

    • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.
  4. Knead the Dough:

    • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise:

    • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Prepare Filling:

    • Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
    • Toss minced raspberries in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Shape the Rolls:

    • Roll out the risen dough into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
    • Evenly spread the raspberry-cinnamon mixture over the dough.
    • Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  8. Cut and Second Rise:

    • Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
    • Arrange slices cut side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
    • Cover and let rise for 30 minutes, until puffy.
  9. Preheat Oven:

    • Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake:

  • Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  1. Make Glaze:
  • While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Adjust consistency with additional lemon juice if needed.
  1. Glaze and Serve:

 

  • Once baked, remove rolls from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, and drizzle with lemon glaze.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • Proofing the Dough: Ensure your kitchen is warm enough to aid the yeast activity for proper rising.
  • Rolling the Dough: Keep the dough tight when rolling to prevent the filling from seeping out.
  • Adjusting the Glaze: For a stronger lemon flavor, add extra lemon zest.

 

  • Serving: Best enjoyed fresh! To reheat leftovers, warm gently in the microwave or oven to restore softness.
