Ingredients
Scale
For the dough:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
For the filling:
- 1 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough out into a 16×12-inch rectangle. Spread the lemon curd evenly over the dough.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices and place them cut side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
- Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier dough handling.
- These sweet rolls are best served warm and can be reheated gently.
