Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Add melted butter, salt, and half the flour; mix well. Gradually add remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour until doubled.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle with cinnamon and evenly distribute raspberries.
- Tightly roll up the dough from one long side and cut into equal pieces (about 2 inches wide). Place in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake rolls for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
