Make This Recipe
Ingredients
2 packages yeast, (4 ½ teaspoons), dissolved in 1/2 cup lukewarm milk + 1/2 tsp sugar)
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water
2 Eggland's Best Large Eggs, beaten
For the filling:
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
3 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
3 cups raspberries
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the frosting:
4 ounces of cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preparation
- Add yeast to warm milk and sugar. Stir with a spoon and set aside for about five minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, sugar, salt, mixed eggs, yeast mixture, and oil then pour lukewarm water while mixing until well incorporated.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured counter. Knead by hand, add a little flour if the dough is still too sticky. Knead until the dough feels smooth.
- Put the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a towel. Let rise for about 30 minutes to up to 45 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured counter. You can divide the dough in two and make smaller calls or roll out a large rectangle 15x10 in.
- Spread dough evenly with softened butter, then with seedless raspberry jam. In a medium bowl, carefully stir together the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Sprinkle the raspberry mixture over the dough crumbling some in your hands.
- Gently roll up the dough into one long roll. Cut rolls, using a piece of dental floss, or a sharp knife, about two inches thick. Place rolls int well buttered 9X13 baking pan.
- Place rolls in a warm spot and covers them with a towel. Let rolls rise for 15 more minutes. Bake rolls at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top. The insides should be soft, but not doughy. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool down for a bit before adding frosting.
- While the rolls are cooling, make the frosting, although you can make the frosting ahead bit whatever its easier for you. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Using an electric mixer, beat it until the mixture is smooth. Spread frosting evenly on rolls and serve.
