1. Activate the Yeast

• In a small bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast.
• Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2. Prepare the Dough

• In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, salt, flour, egg, and lemon zest.
• Add the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3. First Rise

• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

4. Prepare the Filling

• Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
• Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and fresh lemon juice.

5. Shape the Rolls

• Roll the dough tightly and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
• Place the rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

6. Second Rise

• Cover and let the rolls rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffed up.

7. Bake the Rolls

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

8. Make the Lemon Glaze

• While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth.

9. Glaze & Serve

• Once the rolls are done, drizzle the lemon glaze over them while they’re still warm.
• Serve and enjoy!
