Why make these sweet rolls

These raspberry sweet rolls take full advantage of raspberry season! 

You know how I love to use produce fresh out of the garden. Right now the raspberries are producing like crazy. But you can also make these sweet rolls all year long using frozen raspberries.

These rolls are filled with raspberries that create a tasty filling that is almost like a jam. Then everything is drizzled with a sweet icing for just the perfect balance of sweetness.

Raspberry sweet rolls are a delicious breakfast pastry that isn't always the same ol' cinnamon roll. I do love cinnamon rolls, but sometimes a little variety is great.

This recipe uses the same dough I use in my cinnamon rolls and apricot sweet rolls.

It's a pretty versatile dough. It's also used in these blueberry sweet rolls and cranberry sweet rolls. I think I may have an addiction to sweet rolls!

Recipe tips

  • Rising time will vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen
  • You might not use the full amount of flour listed
  • Toss berries in flour just prior to adding to rolled dough. Otherwise they may become too juicy to manage
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw first. Add frozen and increase baking time by 5 minutes
  • Glaze is optional - add while rolls are still warm, but not hot. Another option is to sprinkle the top of the rolls with sugar just prior to placing in oven.

Recipe Faqs
