Method
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice.
- Pour the yeast mixture and the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into strips and roll each strip into a spiral shape.
- Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until puffed.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
These lemon rolls are best served warm and can be paired with tea or coffee.
