Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups bob’s red mill organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese
- 2 lemons
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk
- 8 tbsps (113 g) butter
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp or 7 g) rapid rise yeast
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cup (150 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: Blend flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a food processor until thoroughly integrated.
- Liquid Incorporation: Warm butter, water, and buttermilk to 120-125°F, then mix into flour mixture with eggs until an elastic dough forms.
- Dough Relaxation: Rest the dough on a lightly floured surface, allowing gluten to settle and become more pliable.
- Filling Creation: Gently combine raspberry preserves and fresh raspberries in a bowl, maintaining the fruit’s delicate texture.
- Dough Rolling: Extend dough to a 10×18 inch rectangle, brush with melted butter, leaving narrow margins. Evenly distribute raspberry mixture across the surface.
- Roll and Shape: Tightly roll the dough from the long side, creating a spiral and sealing edges to prevent filling escape. Slice into 12 uniform segments and place in a prepared baking dish.
- Overnight Fermentation: Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate, allowing flavors to develop and dough to mature overnight.
- Proofing and Baking: Remove rolls from refrigerator, let return to room temperature for 1.5-2 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake until golden-brown, approximately 30 minutes.
- Glaze Preparation: Whip cream cheese and lemon juice in a food processor, gradually adding powdered sugar to create a smooth, luxurious glaze.
- Final Touches: Once slightly cooled, drizzle lemon cream cheese glaze over rolls and garnish with delicate lemon zest to enhance citrusy notes.
Notes
- Dough Temperature Matters: Ensure liquid is precisely between 120-125°F for optimal yeast activation and perfect dough consistency.
- Refrigeration Magic: Overnight chilling develops deeper flavor complexity and allows gluten to relax, creating tender sweet rolls.
- Filling Distribution Technique: Spread raspberry mixture evenly and leave narrow margins to prevent leakage during rolling and baking.
- Glaze Application Tip: Pour lemon cream cheese glaze when rolls are slightly cooled to prevent immediate melting and maintain attractive drizzle pattern.
