  • Author: Yara Collins
  • Total Time: 6 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 teaspoons instant yeast
– 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– Zest of 2 lemons
– 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)


Instructions

Making Lemon Rolls is a straightforward process, and following these steps will guide you every step of the way:

1. Prepare Equipment: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 30-40 minutes).
7. Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Spread Filling: In a small bowl, mix additional sugar with lemon juice. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough.
9. Roll the Dough: Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
10. Slice the Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
11. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 20-30 minutes.
12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Glaze: While the rolls cool, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle on top of the rolls.
14. Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few moments before serving to allow the glaze to set.

These steps pave the way for creating Lemon Rolls that will be a feast for the senses!
