Description

Delicious raspberry sweet rolls topped with a creamy glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup freeze-dried raspberries
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to 110°F. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine flour, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix using a dough hook.
  3. Add softened butter and knead for 7–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (1 to 1 hours).
  5. Blend freeze-dried raspberries into powder. Mix with brown sugar and softened butter to make the filling.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread filling evenly. Roll up tightly from the long side and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  7. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 pan. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  8. Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
  9. Make glaze by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. Spread glaze over warm rolls and sprinkle with extra raspberry powder if desired.
