Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Stand Mixer
  • Dough Hook
  • rolling pin
  • baking dish
  • knife

Ingredients
  

For the rolls

  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk warmed
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast or 1 packet
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 ½ cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted (for greasing)

Filling

  • 3 cups frozen raspberries do not use fresh berries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
 

Make the dough

  • In a large mixing bowl add the warm milk, yeast, egg, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Whisk together until bubbly.
  • Tip in the flour and use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to mix the dough for 3 minutes. Alternatively, mix with a spatula until a dough starts to form then tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn it in the oil then cover with cling wrap. Leave in a warm place to rise until doubles in size (approximately one hour).
  • When the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle of roughly 40cm by 20cm.

Make the filling

  • Put the frozen raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch into a bowl and mix well to combine.
  • Transfer the filling on top of the dough rectangle leaving 1-2cm around the edge of the dough. Spread the filling out as best you can.
  • With the longest side facing you, tightly roll the rectangle of dough into a long sausage shape. Pinch the seam with your fingers then cut the sausage of dough in half to make it easier to divide.
  • Use a very sharp knife or dough cutter to cut each half of the dough into 6 equal sections.
  • Grease a 9”x13” baking dish with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Arrange the rolls in the dish leaving a little space in-between each one.
  • Cover with cling wrap and put somewhere warm to rise for 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • When the raspberry sweet rolls have puffed up, remove the cling wrap and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 25 minutes, then check on the rolls.
  • If they are not golden in color, remove the foil and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Make the glaze: Put the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream into a bowl. Mix until smooth and adjust consistency as desired.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the Raspberry Sweet Rolls while they are still warm in the dish.
  • Serve immediately.
