Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup whole milk (warmed to 110°F)
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 large egg
Zest of 1 lemon
Filling: ¼ cup lemon juice, ½ cup brown sugar, lemon zest, and butter for spreading

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warmed milk, melted butter, egg, and lemon zest; mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl and let it rise covered for about 1 hour or until doubled.
Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar with lemon zest and softened butter until combined.
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (12x18 inches) and spread filling evenly over it. Roll tightly from one long edge and slice into 12 pieces.
Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
While baking, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth.
Once baked, drizzle glaze over slightly cooled rolls.
