Instructions
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and a pinch of sugar in warm milk. Let stand until frothy. Add flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-1.5 hours.
Make the Berry Filling: Mix berries with sugar and flour/cornstarch. Set aside.
Assemble the Rolls: Roll out dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the berry mixture evenly over the dough. Roll up tightly and cut into 12 pieces. Place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle over slightly cooled rolls.
Notes
Frozen Berries: If using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them first, but ensure any excess liquid is absorbed with flour or cornstarch to prevent soggy rolls.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Warm in the oven covered with foil at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds with a damp paper towel.
