Instructions

Activate Yeast: Combine warm milk (105-115°F), granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until foamy. This ensures your dough for these Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls is active and ready to rise quickly.
Mix Dough: Stir in melted butter, egg, and salt into the yeast mixture. Gradually add all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for one minute until smooth.
Shape Rolls: Roll the dough into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon evenly, then scatter fresh or frozen raspberries. Roll tightly from the long edge, then slice into 12 even pieces.
Bake Rolls: Arrange the sliced Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. They will be perfectly soft.
Make Glaze: While rolls bake, whisk together sifted powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust lemon juice for desired consistency; it should be thick but pourable for easy drizzling.
Glaze & Serve: Drizzle the bright lemon glaze generously over the warm Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls with Lemon Glaze. The warmth helps the glaze slightly melt and seep into the rolls, adding extra flavor.
Enjoy Warm: Serve these delightful Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls with Lemon Glaze immediately for the best taste and texture. They are perfect for a special breakfast or a comforting treat any time of day.
