Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Sweet Rolls
- In a medium bowl, combine the warmed whole milk with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Gently sprinkle the active dry yeast over the milk and whisk lightly. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the large eggs until smooth and blended. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, combine the remaining granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and kosher salt. Stir to evenly distribute.
- Gradually add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the unsalted butter piece by piece until smooth.
- Knead the dough on medium speed for about 6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Punch down dough, roll into a 10×15-inch rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
- Spread the lemon curd over the dough, leaving a small border.
- Roll tightly from the long edge and slice into 12 equal rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool in the dish for 5 minutes. Whisk confectioners’ sugar and whole milk and drizzle over warm rolls.
