Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk, lukewarm
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Raspberry Filling

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, finely chopped

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 whole lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Making the Rolls

  • In a large bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups lukewarm milk, ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough begins to form.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Mix ½ cup granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Gently toss 1 cup minced fresh raspberries in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Roll out the risen dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Evenly spread the raspberry-cinnamon mixture over the dough. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Cut the log into 12 equal slices. Arrange the slices cut side up in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes, until puffy.
  • Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the rolls bake, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, zest of 1 lemon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Adjust consistency with additional lemon juice if needed.
  • Once baked, remove rolls from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes, and then drizzle with lemon glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

Ensure your kitchen is warm enough to aid the yeast activity for the dough to rise properly. Keep the dough as tight as possible when rolling to prevent the filling from seeping out.
