Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, and fine salt. In a saucepan, heat buttermilk, granulated sugar, and softened unsalted butter until just warm. Mix the buttermilk mixture with dry ingredients until combined.
- Gradually add large eggs to the dough mixture, mixing well. Knead dough until elastic and slightly tacky, adding more flour if too sticky.
- Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Prepare the filling by combining granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar, fresh lemon zest, and softened unsalted butter until creamy.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the lemon filling evenly across the dough, then roll tightly from the longer side into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Turn off the oven, cover the rolls with foil, and place them in the warm oven for 30 minutes.
- After rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the foil and bake the rolls for 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and melted unsalted butter until smooth for icing.
- Cool the rolls for 10 to 20 minutes, then drizzle icing over each roll and garnish with lemon zest.
