Instructions
- Combine milk and sugar in a bowl, and heat gently until the temp is reached (it's supposed to be lukewarm, not hot).
- Sprinkle yeast over the surface, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Tiny bubbles should begin to appear on the surface or around the edge of the container and it should start to smell yeasty.
- Add the yeast mixture to the bowl of your stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
- Add the flour, salt, eggs and butter and knead for 8-10 minutes. It should form a ball, and be relatively smooth.
- Let sit in a warm place, until doubled in size (about an hour?). Punch down.
- Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes - this is an important step, don't skip!
Filling
- Combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon zest.
Assembly
- Roll dough into a 16x21-inch rectangle.
- Brush dough with butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, then the raspberry mixture.
- Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. I use (plain, unflavoured) dental floss to do this.
- Place a piece of dental floss under the rolled dough, 1 inch from the end. Bring the floss up around the dough and cross it over the top, cutting through the dough and filling. Repeat at 1-inch intervals.
- Place rolls in a 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, zest, salt and milk (and lemon juice, if using)
- Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Room temperature eggs, butter and cream cheese do best in this recipe.
- If you don't have a 9x13 baking dish, just use two pie plates.
- Storing Raspberry Sweet Rolls
- Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature. May also be refrigerated.
- Freezing sweet rolls is not recommended (the filling makes them soggy upon thawing)
- Substitutions/Additions
- Cutting the rolls
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the rolls for a clean edge (don’t press down and squish!
- Use dental floss to cut your raspberry sweet rolls cleanly. Place a piece of (plain, unflavored) dental floss under the rolled dough, 1 inch from the end. Bring the floss up around the dough and cross it over the top, cutting through the dough and filling. Repeat at 1-inch intervals.
- You can use fresh raspberries OR frozen raspberries. Fresh ones will "bleed" a little more You will need to cool the rolls completely before attempting to separate them.
- Can I use a bread machine for this sweet roll recipe?Yes! Place dough ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
- After the dough cycle is done, punch down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes - this is an important step, don't skip!
- Continue at the filling step, then assemble, cut and bake.
