List of Ingredients

â—¦ 3 ½ to 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
â—¦ 1 (0.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
â—¦ ½ cup plus 4 tablespoons whole milk, divided
â—¦ ½ cup sour cream
â—¦ 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
â—¦ â…“ cup granulated sugar
â—¦ 2 teaspoons kosher salt
â—¦ 1 large egg, lightly beaten
â—¦ ½ cup cherry preserves
â—¦ 1 teaspoon lemon zest
â—¦ 2 cups confectioners' sugar
â—¦ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract


Recipe

In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour and yeast. In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup milk, sour cream, butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 120° to 130° F.

With mixer on low speed, add milk mixture to flour mixture. Add egg; beat until dough forms. Turn off mixer. Switch to dough hook attachment. Beat at medium speed until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. (Dough should pull away from sides of bowl but stick to bottom.) Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in prepared bowl, turning to coat top. Cover, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75° F) until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside. Lightly punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14-by-10-inch rectangle.

Combine preserves and lemon zest. Spread preserves mixture evenly over dough. Starting with one long side, roll dough into a log; pinch seam to seal. Using a serrated knife, slice into 10 rolls. Place rolls in prepared pan. Cover, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75° F) until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, remaining 4 tablespoons milk, and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Spread over warm rolls.
