Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated. Then add the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and matcha powder, stirring until well combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead and Rise: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough feels smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the raspberry jam, fresh or frozen raspberries, and granulated sugar until evenly combined. This mixture will add a fresh and sweet contrast to the matcha dough.
  4. Roll and Fill: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the surface of the dough, ensuring an even distribution for every bite.
  5. Shape the Rolls: Beginning with one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them spaced evenly into a greased baking dish. Cover again and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffed.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and the rolls are cooked through.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity for desired glaze consistency.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls are warm out of the oven, drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the top. Serve warm and enjoy the harmonious flavors of matcha and raspberry.

Notes

  • Ensure milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate yeast without killing it.
  • Fresh raspberries are preferred for a vibrant flavor, but frozen can be thawed and drained if necessary.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • If you prefer a stronger matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder by 1 tsp.
  • These rolls are best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
