Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, warmed
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- Pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons raspberry jam
- 2.8 ounces cream cheese
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Warm the buttermilk to 100-105°F, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and the yeast, mix well, and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg. Add the melted butter.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the egg and sugar mixture, and mix until combined.
- Add the flour and salt, knead until smooth, tacky dough forms (10-20 minutes by hand or 4-6 minutes with a stand mixer).
- Perform the windowpane test to ensure proper gluten development.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
- In a medium saucepan, heat raspberries, sugar, salt, and water over medium heat for about 5 minutes, mashing the raspberries.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 5 minutes until thickened. Let cool.
- Massage the sugar and lemon zest in a heat-proof bowl, whisk in the eggs and yolk, then add lemon juice and whisk well.
- Cook over a double boiler until thickened, then mix in butter and salt, and refrigerate until cool.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll into a rectangle (17 x 13 inches, 3/8 inch thick).
- Spread 1/2-3/4 cup of lemon curd and raspberry filling over the dough, roll into a log, and cut into 12 pieces.
- Place rolls in a buttered or lined pan, cover, and let rest until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours).
- Preheat the oven to 345°F.
- Pour warm heavy cream over the rolls and bake for 25-28 minutes, then let cool slightly.
- For the frosting, cream butter and cream cheese, add raspberry jam, powdered sugar, and then heavy cream until smooth.
- Spread frosting over warm rolls and serve.
