- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) lukewarm milk
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Raspberry Filling and Lemon Glaze:
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar (Raspberry Filling)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (Raspberry Filling)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, finely chopped (Raspberry Filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (Lemon Glaze)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (Lemon Glaze)
- Zest of 1 lemon (Lemon Glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (Lemon Glaze)
Instructions
- Sift together flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution of dry components.
- In a separate vessel, gently whisk milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs until thoroughly blended and smooth.
- Create a well in the center of dry ingredients and slowly pour wet mixture, stirring until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead vigorously for 8-10 minutes, developing gluten and achieving a silky, elastic texture.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour until volume doubles.
- Prepare filling by combining brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and fresh raspberries, creating a fragrant and fruity mixture.
- Gently roll dough into a rectangular shape measuring approximately 12×18 inches, ensuring an even thickness.
- Distribute filling evenly across the dough’s surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, then slice into 12 uniform sections using a sharp knife.
- Arrange rolls in a greased baking pan, allowing space for expansion, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and bake rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
- Craft a tangy glaze by whisking powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Allow rolls to cool for 10 minutes, then generously drizzle with prepared glaze for a vibrant finishing touch.
