Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together warm milk and melted butter. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients; mix until combined. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Prepare raspberry filling by combining raspberries and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Punch down risen dough and roll into a rectangle. Spread cooled raspberry filling evenly across the surface; roll tightly to form a log.
- Cut rolled dough into equal sections (about an inch thick) and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another half hour while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool slightly before serving.
