Dough Preparation
- Warm 1 cup of whole milk and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Remove from heat, let cool until warm (about 110°F). Sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of instant yeast and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, stirring lightly. After 5 minutes, whisk in 1 large egg, then mix in 4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Filling Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of sliced rhubarb, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Roll and Assemble
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a ¼ inch thick rectangle. Spread the cooled rhubarb filling evenly over the dough, then roll tightly into a log. Cut into 12 pieces and place cut-side up in a greased baking pan.
Second Rise
- Cover the pan with a towel and let rolls rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
Baking
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush tops with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Glazing
- Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with reserved rhubarb filling and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
