Raspberry Cream Cheese Sweet Rolls
Ingredients:
1 cup warm milk
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling:
1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
*Or you can buy store bought raspberry jam
Glaze:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
Add egg, melted butter, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
For the filling, mix raspberries with granulated sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Let cool.
Roll out dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread cooled raspberry mixture onto the dough.
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge. Cut into 12 equal rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
Allow the rolls to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool before adding the glaze.
Mix and beat the glaze ingredients and top over the rolls. Great with coffee or afternoon tea.
