1/4 cup melted butter

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp matcha powder

For the Icing:

🥣 Instructions

1. Make the Dough:

In a large bowl, mix the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for

5 minutes until foamy.

Add the sugar, egg, melted butter, matcha powder, and

salt. Stir to combine.

Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes

until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel,

and let it rise for 1 hour (until doubled in size).

2. Shape and Fill:

Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 12x8 inches).

Spread the raspberry jam evenly, then sprinkle fresh

raspberries over it.

Roll it up from the long side like a cinnamon roll log.

Cut into 8–10 rolls and place them in a greased baking

pan.

3. Final Rise & Bake:

Cover the pan with a towel and let rise for another 30

minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden.

4. Glaze:

Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

Drizzle over warm rolls and top each with a raspberry if

you’d like!
