Along with Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole, these are one of my favorite recipes to make for Easter brunch. They’re easier than you think, and no one will ever believe that they started as frozen dinner roll dough!

Shopping List

  • frozen dinner rolls
  • butter
  • seedless raspberry jam
  • lemon
  • granulated sugar
  • powdered sugar
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish optional

How to Make Pull-Apart Rolls

  1. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
  2. Butter a 9×9 pan and set aside.
  3. Once the rolls are thawed, flatten them gently with your palm.
  4. Fill each circle with 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam and pinch shut.
  5. Place into the prepared dish, pinched side up. Drizzle the rolls with the melted butter.
  6. Mix together the lemon zest and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle HALF of the lemon-sugar mixture over the tops.
  7. Cover the baking dish and let rise until the rolls have doubled in size.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture on top of the rolls and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
  9. Combine glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over rolls while still, they are still warm.

How do you defrost frozen dough?

  1. Place the frozen dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap, coated in cooking spray.
  3. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 6-12 hours before you wish to use the dough.

    I love lemon and blueberries together but I don’t think I’ve ever tried lemon and raspberries. Thanks for the recipe 🙂

      You could use whatever nuts you like, or just skip them. I love how easy it is to customize smoothie bowls.
      🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
