Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (as needed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp of the sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix dough: Whisk in remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, egg yolk, and salt. Add flour gradually and mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead: Knead 6–8 minutes (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic.
  4. First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 60–90 minutes until doubled.
  5. Roll out: On a floured surface, roll dough into a 16×12-inch rectangle.
  6. Add filling: Spread softened butter evenly. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the butter. Dollop raspberry jam across the surface and gently spread. Sprinkle raspberries on top if using.
  7. Roll & slice: Roll tightly from the long side into a log. Slice into 12 rolls.
  8. Second rise: Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  9. Bake: Bake at 350°F for 22–28 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through.
  10. Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls so it melts into the swirls.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for extra bursts of flavor.
  • Let the glaze melt into the warm rolls for best texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
