Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, and fine salt. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, granulated sugar, and softened butter, then microwave until warm but not hot. Gradually combine these mixtures and mix in the large eggs.
- Continue to add flour gradually until the dough begins to pull away from the bowl. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until slightly tacky. Allow to rest for 10-20 minutes, then incorporate fresh lemon zest.
- Prepare the filling by mixing granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and lemon zest until combined. Add softened butter and stir until spreadable.
- Roll the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the filling across the rectangle, roll tightly, and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking pan and cover loosely. Turn off the oven and place the pan inside to rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 28-32 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and melted butter until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the rolls after cooling for 10 minutes.
