Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g milk
- 60 g sourdough starter, active and bubbly
- 70 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 430 g bread flour
- 5 g salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 4 tbs unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbs lemon juice (juice of half a lemon)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a bowl, combine the warm milk, active sourdough starter, and 70 g granulated sugar. Mix until combined, then add the egg and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the bread flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Embrace the dough with your hands, kneading it until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a warm, damp cloth, and let it rise for about 120 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Make the Rolls: Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread the stick of room-temperature unsalted butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. In a small bowl, toss the frozen raspberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch before spreading them evenly over the buttered dough.
- Roll It Up: Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into even pieces (about 1 inch thick) and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 60 minutes, until puffy and slightly expanded.
- Bake and Frost: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and deliciously fragrant. While they’re baking, prepare the frosting by blending 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 3 oz softened cream cheese, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before generously drizzling them with that dreamy frosting.
Notes
For a variety, substitute raspberries with blueberries or add a handful of chopped nuts.
