Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 packet of active dry yeast with 1 cup of warm milk and let bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 3 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Incorporate the yeast mixture and 1 beaten egg, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, then cover and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the risen dough, roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick on a floured surface.
  5. Spread ¼ cup of softened butter on the dough, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and ½ cup of granulated sugar, then distribute 1 cup of fresh raspberries on top.
  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. While baking, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for the glaze.
  9. After baking, drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm rolls.
