Ingredients
- For the Dough: 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast, ½ tsp salt, ½ cup whole milk, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup unsalted butter, 1 large egg.
- For the Filling: ½ cup raspberry jam, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 2 tbsp melted butter.
- For the Lemon Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest.
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm milk, water, and butter until butter melts (110°F). Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Add warm milk mixture and egg, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Let the Dough Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter, spread raspberry jam, and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll tightly and cut into 12 slices.
- Bake and Glaze: Arrange rolls in a greased dish, let rise 30 minutes, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. Drizzle with lemon glaze before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberry jam for the best flavor.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for optimal fluffiness.
- For extra tang, add more lemon zest to the glaze.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
