Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
Combine Ingredients: Add the melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Mix Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the raspberries evenly. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Add the Filling: Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll Up the Dough: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal.
Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12-15 even slices.
Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
Step 4: Bake the Rolls
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. If the rolls are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
