Video: Berry Jam Buns

"Once you roll it out into a big rectangle, you top it with a thin layer of jam, some fresh berries, and some freshly grated lemon zest. Then you roll that up, and cut it into thick slices. The dough gets one more quick rise. Then you bake the rolls until golden, and top them with the cream cheese icing that gently melts into the top of the rolls and a sprinkle of freeze-dried berries."

"Berry Jam Buns A filling made from berry preserves and fresh berries replaces the buttery cinnamon sugar you might expect in a cinnamon roll, for a colorful twist on a favorite. These berry jam buns are a brighter take on a cinnamon roll. You are definitely going to want to eat these warm. You start by making an enriched dough. Then you let that dough rise and spend some time in the refrigerator, which makes it much easier to roll out."

An enriched dough is prepared, allowed to rise, and chilled to make rolling easier. The dough is rolled into a large rectangle, spread with a thin layer of jam, and topped with fresh berries and freshly grated lemon zest. The rectangle is rolled into a log, sliced into thick buns, given a brief second rise, and baked until golden. Warm buns are finished with a cream cheese icing that gently melts into the rolls and a sprinkle of freeze-dried berries. The berry preserves and fresh berries replace traditional buttery cinnamon sugar for a colorful, brighter cinnamon-roll variation best served warm.
