Raspberry Swirl Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and extracts. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. , Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Combine the jam, coconut and pecans; spread over rectangles. Carefully roll up, starting with the long ends, into tight jelly rolls. Wrap in plastic. Refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2-3 hours. , Preheat oven to 375°. Cut into 1/4-in. slices; place on greased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool cookies on wire racks.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, warm the milk over moderately low heat until it's 95°. Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the dough hook and stir in the sugar and yeast. Let stand until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the softened butter, eggs, grated lemon zest and sea salt. Add the flour and beat at medium speed until a soft dough forms, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is soft and supple, about 10 minutes longer.
• Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with your hands 2 or 3 times. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to a lightly buttered bowl. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.
• Line the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend up the short sides. Butter the paper and sides of the pan. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll it into a 10-by-24-inch rectangle.
• In a medium bowl, toss the frozen raspberries with the sugar and cornstarch. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the dough. Tightly roll up the dough to form a 24-inch-long log. Working quickly, cut the log into quarters. Cut each quarter into 4 slices and arrange them in the baking pan, cut sides up. Scrape any berries and juice from the work surface into the baking pan between the rolls. Cover the rolls and let them rise in a warm place until they are puffy and have filled the baking pan, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425°. Bake the rolls for about 25 minutes, until they are golden and the berries are bubbling. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar with the butter and heavy cream until the glaze is thick and spreadable.
• Invert the rolls onto the rack and peel off the parchment paper. Invert the rolls onto a platter. Dollop glaze over each roll and spread with an offset spatula. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Make Ahead The recipe can be prepared through Step 4. Cover the rolls, refrigerate overnight and then return to room temperature before baking. Notes Variation The sweet rolls can be filled with a variety of frozen fruit. Try blackberries, strawberries, blueberries or chopped sweet cherries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line pan with parchment paper and butter again. Dust with flour; tap out excess. In a small bowl, sift together flour and cornstarch.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt on high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Transfer egg-yolk mixture to a large bowl. Wash and dry mixer bowl and whisk attachment.
• Place remaining egg whites in mixer bowl, and whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes. With mixer running, slowly add remaining 6 tablespoons granulated sugar; continue whisking until stiff and glossy, about 1 minute more.
• Fold egg-white mixture into egg-yolk mixture. In three additions, sift reserved flour mixture into egg mixture, folding to combine after each addition. Transfer batter to prepared baking sheet, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Bake until light golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Run a knife around the sides of cake. Invert onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar; remove parchment. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar using a sieve. Using the towel and starting at a short end, roll up cake and towel. Let cool completely, seam side down.
• Unroll cake. Whip cream until soft peaks form; mix in jam. Spread on top of cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at a short end, roll up cake without towel. Wrap jelly roll cake in towel. Transfer to baking sheet, seam side down to maintain cylindrical shape. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours. Dust with confectioners' sugar before slicing and serving.
