Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups (300 milliliters) milk, lukewarm
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) + 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners and Leavening:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Craft a soft, pillowy dough by combining flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Whisk lukewarm milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs in a separate container, ensuring smooth integration of liquid components.
- Merge wet and dry ingredients gradually, stirring until a cohesive dough emerges.
- Transfer the nascent dough onto a flour-dusted surface, kneading vigorously for 8-10 minutes until achieving a silky, springy texture.
- Nestle the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, drape with a damp cloth, and allow it to proliferate in a warm environment until its volume doubles, approximately one hour.
- Create a fragrant filling by blending granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then gently coating fresh raspberries in this aromatic mixture.
- Unfurl the risen dough into a rectangular canvas, spreading the raspberry-cinnamon medley across its surface with deliberate care.
- Tightly roll the dough from its lengthiest edge, transforming it into a compact log.
- Slice the log into 12 uniform sections, positioning them cut-side upward in a generously greased baking pan.
- Allow the rolls a second rise, covering them and permitting them to become delightfully puffy for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, creating an ideal baking environment.
- Bake the rolls until they achieve a golden-brown complexion, approximately 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, concoct a zesty glaze by whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice, fragrant zest, and vanilla extract.
- Once baked, let the rolls rest briefly, then lavish them with the bright, citrusy glaze.
- Serve these decadent rolls while still radiating warmth, inviting immediate indulgence.
Notes
- Experiment with frozen raspberries if fresh ones aren’t available, ensuring they’re thawed and well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the rolls.
- Consider using whole wheat flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour to add nutritional depth and a slightly nutty flavor to the rolls.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use plant-based butter alternative during preparation.
- Prevent over-rising by checking dough in a warm (not hot) area, which can help maintain the perfect texture and prevent dense, heavy rolls.
