Heat milk in a microwave safe measuring cup for 45 seconds to 1minute, until very warm (120-130°F). Add warm milk, butter, and egg to flour mixture and mix until combined; mix in remaining 1 1/2 cups (210 g) flour. Switch out the flat beater for a dough hook, and knead dough for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough is ready when it feels tacky but doesn't stick to your fingers (if necessary, add additional flour 1tablespoon at a time while kneading).Place dough in a large bowl coated with nonstick spray and cover with plastic. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. To check if dough has doubled, lightly flour two fingers and press them down into center of dough. If indentations remain, gently press down dough; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Spray a 13×9-inchbaking dish (or two 9-inch round pans) with nonstick spray.Turn dough out on a lightly floured board and roll into an 18×12-inch rectangle. Brush dough with melted butter, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Place sugar and lemon zest in a food processor and pulse for 1 minute; sprinkle lemon-sugar over dough and top with almond paste, pressing gently into dough with rolling pin. Carefully roll dough up into a tight log and pinch edges to seal.Trim off uneven ends and score dough into 18 equal slices. Use unflavored dental floss to slice dough crosswise (slip a long slice of floss under log of dough and cross on top to cut slices cleanly). Place rolls cut side up into prepared baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.While the rolls rise, preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 18 to 19 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, salt, melted butter, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and almond extract in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. NotesWrap leftover rolls well and store at room temperature up to 2 days; warm in a 300°F oven before serving. Recipe by Tutti Dolci. Did you make this recipe?
