We're rolling out some savory sweetness with our famous Razzie Rolls.
—Recipes by Chef Steph
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast (2 packets)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature and cut into 4 pieces
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting/rolling
- 1 jar of seedless raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar, vanilla, and butter for glaze
DIRECTIONS:
- In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm (no need to use a thermometer, but to be precise: about 95 degrees F).
- Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. (You can use a handheld mixer or no mixer, but a stand mixer is ideal).
- With a spoon, manually stir in the sugar and yeast. Cover with a towel and let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Beat in the softened butter on low speed until it is slightly broken up. Next add the eggs, one at a time, and then the salt. The butter won't be mixing into the mixture, so don't be alarmed if it stays in pieces.
- Still on low speed, gradually add the flour. Once it is all added, beat on medium speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is soft and supple, about 8-10 minutes longer. *If you do not have a stand-mixer with a hook attachment, knead the dough by hand in this step.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it with your hands for about 2 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover the dough and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours. (Here's what I do: turn the oven on to 300F degrees. Turn the oven off. Stick the covered dough inside the oven and allow it to rise in this warm environment.)
- Butter/grease/spray with nonstick spray the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, then line with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll it into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Make sure the dough is smooth and evenly thick, even at the corners.
- Spread the jam over the dough and roll to seal the edge. Cut into 12 slices and arrange them in the prepared pan. Cover with film or a damp towel.
- After the rolls have risen, preheat the oven to 400 F degrees. Cover the rolls with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes, until they are golden and the berries are bubbling. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for about 15 minutes.
Make The Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk the confectioner’s sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. (This time I added freeze-dried raspberries that I had pulverized into powder). Add more sugar or cream, depending on how thick you want the glaze.
- Pour glaze over the rolls and serve warm. Cover rolls and store at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. Baked rolls can be frozen up to 2 months and warmed up to enjoy at a later date. Glaze them right before serving.
