Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour Bread flour can also be used for a chewier texture.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Reduce by a couple of tablespoons if you prefer less sweetness.
  • 1 packet active dry yeast Essential for that light, airy texture.
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm) You can use almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted) Substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 large eggs You can replace them with flax eggs for a vegan version.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Don't skip this step for enhanced flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Frozen raspberries can work but may make the filling wetter.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Adjust to taste based on berry tartness.
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch Helps thicken the filling.
For the Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened) Use vegan cream cheese if preferred.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Sifted is best for smoothness.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed) Adds bright acidity.
  • Zest of 1 lemon Feel free to add more if you're a citrus lover!
