Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until lukewarm (110°F). Dissolve the yeast in the milk and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl, covered, for 1 hour.
  4. Blend sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter to form a filling paste. Roll out risen dough into a large rectangle.
  5. Spread filling over dough, scatter raspberries on top, then roll tightly from one edge into a log.
  6. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place slices in a greased baking dish and let rise for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest together until smooth.
  9. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately.
