Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk (lukewarm)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it in tepid milk, allowing it to become frothy and aromatic.
- Incorporate sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and flour into the yeast mixture, creating a cohesive and elastic dough.
- Knead the dough thoroughly until it achieves a silky, smooth texture and develops a slight springiness.
- Allow the dough to rest and expand in a warm, draft-free environment for approximately 60 minutes, or until it doubles in volume.
- Gently roll out the risen dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness across the surface.
- Liberally spread softened butter across the dough, creating a rich, moisture-laden foundation.
- Generously dust the buttered surface with a harmonious blend of cinnamon and sugar, ensuring complete coverage.
- Delicately scatter fresh raspberries across the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent fruity bursts.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight cylinder, sealing the filling within its soft embrace.
- Slice the rolled dough into 12 uniform segments, arranging them in a generously greased baking dish.
- Allow the rolls to undergo a second rising period for 30 minutes, becoming puffy and interconnected.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C), creating an ideal baking environment.
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they transform into a golden, enticing masterpiece.
- Whip the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk into a luxuriously smooth frosting.
- Once cooled, lavishly drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls, creating an irresistible finishing touch.
Notes
- Check yeast freshness by ensuring it foams in warm milk, which guarantees perfect dough rise and fluffy rolls.
- Use room temperature ingredients like butter and egg to help ingredients blend smoothly and create consistent texture.
- Prevent raspberries from bleeding by patting them dry and lightly dusting with flour before adding to filling, keeping roll layers distinct and preventing soggy spots.
- Consider dairy-free alternatives like almond milk and vegan butter for lactose-intolerant or plant-based diets without compromising taste and texture.
