Ingredients

1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4-oz package active dry yeast
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. kosher salt
Oil, for pan
1/3 cup raspberry jam
2 tsp. lemon zest
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 cups frozen raspberries (do not thaw)
2 Tbsp. heavy cream, for brushing
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Step 1In small saucepan, heat milk and 1/2 cup water on medium-low until warm but not hot to the touch.
2. Step 2Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together yeast, granulated sugar and 1 cup flour. Stir in warm milk. Cover and set aside until thick and foamy, about 15 minutes.
3. Step 3Mix in melted butter and salt. Gradually mix in remaining 2 cups flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Step 4Meanwhile, lightly coat 11" by 8" casserole dish with oil. Line pan with parchment paper, leaving 3-inch overhang on 2 long sides; oil parchment. In small bowl, combine jam, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
5. Step 5Turn dough out onto floured surface. Roll into 12" by 9" rectangle. Spread with jam mixture and top with raspberries. Starting from long side, roll dough into tight log, pinching seam to seal.
6. Step 6Slide long piece of unflavored dental floss under log of dough about 1 inch from end. Holding floss taut, lift ends and cross to cut off 1 piece dough. Repeat to cut 12 1-inch-thick rolls. Transfer rolls, cut sides up, to prepared pan, spacing equally. Cover and let rise until rolls have doubled in size and are touching, 50 to 60 minutes.
7. Step 7Meanwhile, heat oven to 375°F. Brush rolls with heavy cream and bake until puffed and light golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes. Let cool on wire rack 10 minutes.
8. Step 8Make frosting: In medium bowl, combine sour cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Spread over warm rolls.
