Ingredients
Makes nine large rolls
- 450g flour, bread preferred, all-purpose okay
- 9g instant dry yeast
- 12g salt
- 115g sugar
- 250mL warm milk
- Amount varies by environmental factors
- 1 large egg
- 15 g soft butter
Raspberry Filling
- 200g raspberries, fresh or frozen, not juiced
- 100g white sugar
Cinnamon Filling
- 200g brown sugar
- 15g cinnamon
Directions
You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook to mix and knead the dough
- Add flour to bowl
- Add the yeast, salt, sugar, and egg on top of flour, separate around perimeter of bowl
- Gradually add milk and mix until it looks like bread dough
- Not wet, not dry
- Shaggy
- Move it to a floured surface and knead it for a while.
- Soft
- Pliable
- Lightly grease a large bowl, place the kneaded dough inside. Cover and let rise until doubled, about an hour. I create a proofing oven by placing a pot of boiling water in my oven beside the dough bowl. As the water evaporates, it warms and humidifies the air.
- After the first rise, punch down the dough and gently knead a handful of time more
- Roll flat into a rectangle 9" wide and 1/3" thick
- Spread butter on top
- Sprinkle desired filling evenly over buttered dough
- Roll up into a log similar to a swiss roll
- Slice log into nine pieces, 1" thick
- Grease a 9"x9" pan and place the slices inside. Cover and let rise 30 more minutes. I use the same proofing oven technique
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F)
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If it smells burnt, it has been too long.
- Cool slightly, spread frosting on, and serve warm
Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
- 8 oz soft cream cheese (1 package)
- 1 stick soft butter (115g), or use remaining butter from the dough rub)
- 10mL vanilla extract
- 300g powered sugar
- 1g salt
- 50g fresh raspberries (optional, I just really like raspberries)
Directions
I recommend a stand mixer with spatula paddle.
- Combine cream cheese and butter together until smooth
- Add powered sugar slowly while mixing
- Add remaining ingredients
- Beat until smooth, beat for longer for lighter frosting (adds air)
