Delightful sweet rolls filled with tangy lemon curd, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup water (lukewarm, 110-115°F)
- ¾ cup milk (or unsweetened coconut milk, lukewarm, 110-115°F)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, very soft or melted
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 10 ounces lemon curd
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon lemon flavoring (optional)
- 3–4 tablespoons milk (or unsweetened coconut milk)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water and milk. Add granulated sugar and stir. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add softened butter, room temperature egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread lemon curd evenly over the surface, leaving a ½-inch border. Tightly roll up the dough from a long edge and pinch to seal.
- Cut the log into 12 equal rolls and place cut-side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon flavoring. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls.
