Lemon Curd Rolls 🍋

If you made the lemon curd from my last video, this is one of the most delicious ways to use it!

Dough
250 ml milk
7 g or 2 tsp dried yeast
50 g caster sugar
550 g plain flour
2 eggs
90 g soft butter, chopped

Filling
250 g soft butter, chopped
300 g caster sugar
300 g lemon curd (if you want to make this from scratch, check the caption of my last post)
 
Lemon icing
250 g icing sugar
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

For the dough, heat the milk in a saucepan until just lukewarm. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and warm milk. Whisk to combine and set aside for 5 mins or until frothy. Add the flour, eggs and butter and mix with a wooden spoon to combine, then use your hands to form into a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 mins until smooth. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

For the filling, add the butter and sugar to a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon to a smooth paste. Set aside for later.
 
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and grease a large (30 cm) skillet or round baking dish with butter. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a square of roughly 50 x 50cm. Spread with the filling, then the lemon curd, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges. Roll up the dough from the edge into a log shape. Use kitchen string or unflavoured dental floss to trim off the ends of the roll to make them even, then slice it into 8 equal rounds. You can also do this with a knife – just take care not to squash the dough as you cut it. Transfer the rolls to the baking dish, cover and set aside to rise again for 30-40 mins, then bake for 25 mins or until golden brown.

To make the icing, mix together the icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the rolls, sprinkle with lemon zest, then leave to cool for at least 30 mins before serving.

  1. Oh my god. This video is amazing. I just birthed my 50 identical grown men, I’m preparing to have 67 more generations of children, can you generate a 24 hr long marathon chutney making session for me? 🫃 <~~~ me currently I’m still birthing them

  2. He smiles…he laughs. Clearly enjoying himself. I love this for you. You are doing exactly what makes your heart happy. Iove this for you Bob. You did deserve it a thousand times over😊

  3. Hildegard von Bingen! She was an herbalist, a theologian, and a composer. Several of her hymns survive for us to use in worship today. She founded several abbeys, wrote extensively on expressions of faith, and was pretty much the Medieval version of our modern "Independent Woman". Total bad ass sister.

  4. I would, respectfully, question the veracity of the mystic Hildegard who wrote in the 12th Century, but that’s okay. I understand and I will probably buy his book anyway for amusement.

  5. Hope is real, guys. It exists. This guy found it. Hope that today can be good and tomorrow might be better. When the cold of winter and the despair of routine sets in; remember this man and the soup he made for his neighbor. The world is good, sometimes we just need to remember.

  6. Ok, you need to stop. This is dangerous hahahaha!!! 😂 TOO YUMMY!! I’m very pregnant and drooling.
