Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the filling.
Punch down the dough, roll into a rectangle (15x12 inches), spread with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and raspberries.
Roll tightly from the long side and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm area.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl to prepare the glaze.
Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.
