Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stand Mixer
  • Dough Hook
  • baking dish
  • knife or dough cutter
  • Cling wrap

Ingredients
  

For the rolls

  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk, warmed See notes for temperature
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast or 1 packet
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 ½ cups bread flour Recommended for softness
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted, for greasing

Filling

  • 3 cups frozen raspberries do not use fresh berries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream to adjust thickness

Instructions
 

Make the dough

  • In a large mixing bowl add the warm milk, yeast, egg, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Whisk together until bubbly.
  • Tip in the flour and use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to mix the dough for 3 minutes. Alternatively, mix with a spatula until a dough starts to form then tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn it in the oil then cover with cling wrap. Leave in a warm place to rise until doubles in size, about one hour.
  • Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle of roughly 40cm by 20cm.

Make the filling

  • Put the frozen raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch into a bowl and mix well to combine.
  • Transfer the filling on top of the dough rectangle leaving 1-2cm around the edge.
  • With the longest side facing you, tightly roll the rectangle into a long sausage shape. Pinch the seam and cut into 12 equal sections.
  • Grease a 9”x13” baking dish with melted butter and arrange the rolls in the dish, leaving space in-between.
  • Cover with cling wrap and allow to rise again for 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Bake for 25 minutes covered with foil, remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until golden.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside.

Make the glaze

  • Mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream until smooth, adjusting for desired thickness.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the Raspberry Sweet Rolls while they are still warm in the dish.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure to use frozen raspberries instead of fresh for the best results. For overnight preparation, allow the rolls to rise, then refrigerate before baking the next day.
