Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the yeast mixture by combining active dry yeast, 1/4 cup of warm milk, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Make the dough by combining 3-4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 egg, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix in the frothy yeast mixture and knead for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Shape the rolls by rolling the dough into a rectangle, spreading the raspberry filling, and rolling into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Allow the rolls to rise for 30-45 minutes in a greased baking dish covered with a towel.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Make the lemon glaze by whisking 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
