Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm 2% milk (115°F)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4-4 1/2 cups bread flour (divided)
- 10 ounces lemon curd
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for pouring over the risen rolls)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon salted butter (melted)
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Pour the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast overtop.
- Add the eggs, butter, salt, poppy seeds, and sugar.
- Add in 4 cups of flour and mix using the beater blade just until the ingredients are barely combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- Scrape the dough off the beater blade and remove it. Attach the dough hook and beat on medium speed.
- Knead for 5-7 minutes or until the dough is elastic and smooth.
- Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, place the dough inside, cover, and allow to rise until nearly double.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 24×15 inch rectangle.
- Spread the lemon curd over the dough rectangle.
- Roll the dough tightly jelly roll style and cut into 12 slices. Place in a greased 10×15 baking pan.
- Cover and allow to rise for 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
- Pour the warmed heavy cream over the rolls before baking.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar, melted butter, and lemon juice. Adjust heavy cream to achieve drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled rolls.
Notes
For sugar substitutes, consider stevia or monk fruit. Ensure to use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing.
