Ingredients

Units 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

  1. 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.
  2. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll the dough out into a 16×12-inch rectangle. Spread the lemon curd evenly over the dough.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  8. 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.
