Instructions

Creating Irresistible Lemon Sweet Rolls You Will Love involves a few simple steps. Follow these precise instructions, and you’ll be well on your way to delightful lemony goodness!

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, salt, and yeast until well combined.
2. Heat Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine milk and melted butter. Heat gently until just warm, not too hot, and add to the dry mixture.
3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Mix in eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, sour cream, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Knead the Dough: Slowly add remaining flour if the dough is too sticky. Knead on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 30-45 minutes).
6. Roll the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
7. Spread Filling: Spread melted butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with a mixture of sugar, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
8. Form Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side. Slice into 12 even rolls.
9. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
10. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
12. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
13. Prepare Icing: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth to create a glaze.
14. Drizzle Icing: Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm rolls. Garnish with additional lemon zest, if desired.
