Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (plus extra for filling)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted, plus softened for spreading)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk and sprinkle in the yeast; let it foam for about five minutes. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and the milk mixture to form a shaggy dough.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes). Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled (about one hour).
  3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread with softened butter. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and raspberries. Roll tightly into a log, slice into rolls, and place in a greased baking dish.
  4. Let rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake until golden brown (about 25 minutes).
  5. For frosting, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
