Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups (440 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp (7 g) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm milk
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) warm milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) melted unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups (250 g) fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8 g) cornstarch
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) melted butter
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese
  • 1 cup (125 g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) milk

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast with 1/4 cup warm milk and 1 tbsp sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 2 eggs. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  4. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 2 tsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Let it cool completely.
  5. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread 2 tbsp melted butter evenly over the surface.
  6. Spread the cooled raspberry filling over the buttered dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from the long end into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dough cutter.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Beat 4 oz cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp milk until smooth.
  11. Spread the icing generously over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

Make sure your yeast is fresh for proper rising. Don’t overfill the dough with raspberry filling to prevent it from seeping out. Use parchment paper in your baking dish for easy cleanup.
