Dough Preparation
- Warm your milk in a small saucepan until it reaches 110°F (43°C), then dissolve the active dry yeast in it for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Create a well in the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture, melted unsalted butter, and one egg. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Kneading and Rising
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Form it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Filling Preparation
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing together granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter in a small bowl until it becomes a smooth paste.
Rolling and Assembling
- Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, roughly 12x18 inches.
- Spread the prepared cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Evenly sprinkle fresh raspberries on top of the filling.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place cut side up in a greased baking dish, allowing space between each one.
- Let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Baking the Rolls
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
Making the Glaze
- While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl until smooth.
Serving
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the lemon glaze generously over the warm rolls.
- Serve these delightful rolls immediately for the best experience!

Notes
Ensure your dough rises in a warm, draft-free area for optimal yeast activity. Use room temperature ingredients for better dough consistency.
