Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 large eggs
Dough Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Topping/Filling Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Activate yeast in warm milk, allowing it to foam and become frothy for about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a soft dry base for the dough.
- Incorporate softened butter and eggs into the yeast mixture, blending until smooth and cohesive.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until elastic and soft, developing its gluten structure.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, spreading ground cinnamon evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and gently distribute fresh raspberries over the cinnamon-coated dough.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring even distribution of filling ingredients.
- Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds, creating individual cinnamon rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, allowing them to proof for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Prepare cream cheese glaze by whisking cream cheese, powdered sugar, raspberry jam, and heavy cream.
- Drizzle warm glaze over freshly baked rolls, ensuring complete and even coverage.
Notes
- Choose warm milk around 110°F to activate yeast perfectly without killing its rising potential.
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for seamless incorporation into the dough mixture.
- Use fresh raspberries at peak ripeness to maximize natural sweetness and vibrant flavor profile.
- Allow proper rising time in a draft-free, warm area to develop rich, tender dough texture.
