Instructions
- Prepare the foundational mixture by combining flour, sugar, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Gently incorporate butter until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then fold in fragrant lemon zest.
- Pour warm milk and crack the egg into the flour blend. Knead the dough vigorously for 8-10 minutes until achieving a silky, elastic consistency. Allow the dough to rest and expand in a draft-free area for 90-120 minutes, or until volume doubles.
- Gently roll the risen dough into a rectangular shape approximately 20×12 inches. Lavish the surface with melted butter, then generously distribute sugar, fresh raspberries, and white chocolate chips across the entire plane.
- Carefully roll the dough from the elongated edge, creating a compact cylinder. Slice into 12 uniform sections and nestle them into a greased 12×9-inch baking vessel. Shield the rolls and permit a final proofing stage for 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes until they transform into a golden, appetizing hue. Allow to cool completely before serving to ensure optimal texture and flavor melding.
Notes
- Precise Temperature Matters Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure milk is exactly lukewarm (around 110°F) for optimal yeast activation without killing the microorganisms.
- Chocolate Melting Technique Chop white chocolate chips finely to help them melt evenly and distribute smoothly throughout the rolls during baking.
- Raspberry Distribution Strategy Gently press raspberries into dough surface to prevent them from rolling out during shaping, ensuring balanced fruit in every bite.
- Make-Ahead Magic Prepare rolls up to the second rise stage, then refrigerate overnight and let come to room temperature before baking for convenience and enhanced flavor development.
