Delicious Lemon Sweet Rolls

Instructions

• Start by microwaving the milk for 60 seconds until it reaches 110°F.
• Pour the warm milk and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• Add the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest to the mixture and beat until just combined.
• Slowly add the flour and salt mixture, 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then switch to the dough hook attachment and beat for 8 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 90-120 minutes in a warm place.
• While the dough is rising, make the filling by combining melted butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Save a teaspoon of lemon zest for the icing.
• Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangular shape. Spread the filling evenly on top of the dough.
• Roll the dough into a log shape and slice it into large rolls. This recipe makes 12 rolls.
• Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the rolls into a greased deep baking dish (a 9x13 dish works well) and pour heavy cream over them. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on the outside.
• While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, and the remaining lemon zest until smooth. Pour the glaze over the warm rolls and enjoy!
