Ingredients
For the dough:
3½ cups (490 g) flour, divided
1 package (2¼ tsp, ¼oz, 7g) Bailin Superior Baking Yeast
¼ cup (48 g) sugar
½ tsp salt
1 cup (240 g) low-fat milk
¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
For the filling:
1 Tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup (48 g) sugar
½ tsp lemon zest
4 oz (112 g) almond paste, grated
For the glaze:
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
⅛ tsp salt
1 Tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbsp milk
¼ tsp lemon zest
1½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
⅛ tsp pure almond extract
Instructions
Combine 2 cups (280 g) flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixer bowl; mix on low
speed until incorporated. Heat milk in a microwave safe measuring cup for 45 seconds to 1
minute, until very warm (120-130°F). Add warm milk, butter, and egg to flour mixture and
mix until combined; mix in remaining 1½ cups (210 g) flour. Switch out the flat beater for a
dough hook, and knead dough for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough is ready
when it feels tacky but doesn't stick to your fingers (if necessary, add additional flour 1
tablespoon at a time while kneading).
Place dough in a large bowl coated with nonstick spray and cover with plastic. Let the
dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. To check if dough has
doubled, lightly flour two fingers and press them down into center of dough. If indentations
remain, gently press down dough; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Spray a 13 x 9-inch
baking dish (or two 9-inch round pans) with nonstick spray.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured board and roll into an 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Brush
dough with melted butter, leaving a ¼-inch border. Place sugar and lemon zest in a food
processor and pulse for 1 minute; sprinkle lemon-sugar over dough and top with almond
paste, pressing gently into dough with rolling pin. Carefully roll dough up into a tight log and
pinch edges to seal.
Trim off uneven ends and score dough into 18 equal slices. Use unflavored dental floss to
slice dough crosswise (slip a long slice of floss under log of dough and cross on top to cut
slices cleanly). Place rolls cut side up into prepared baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic
and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
While the rolls rise, preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 18 to 19 minutes, until golden.
Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. For the glaze, whisk together
powdered sugar, salt, melted butter, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and almond extract in a
small bowl. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls.
