Description
Delightful Raspberry Cream Cheese Cruffins with flaky layers and a creamy raspberry filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center, then pour in the yeast mixture and melted butter. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm environment until doubled in size, roughly 60 minutes.
- Shape: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to create a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the fresh raspberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll and cut: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Second rise: Arrange the slices in a greased muffin tin. Cover again and let rise for about 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool slightly before savoring these beauties!
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prep the dough the night before, then refrigerate it after kneading. The next morning, let it warm up before rolling it out.
