  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup milk, warmed
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling:

For the Glaze:

  • 23 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine warmed milk, melted butter, and sugar. Stir in yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add Eggs and Flour: Beat in the eggs and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling

  1. Mix Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
  2. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, then dollop raspberry preserves on top and spread it gently.
  3. Roll and Cut: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

Second Rise and Bake

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Glaze the Rolls

  1. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Drizzle: Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
