Step 1

-In the bowl of a stand mixer: add yeast, milk, and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to activate. Add in eggs, butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Step 2

-Knead on medium-low speed until dough begins to come together. Knead dough until smooth.

Step 3

-Shape the dough into a ball. Then butter a large bowl. Add the dough into bowl and turn to coat dough. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 2 hours.

Step 4

-Once dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out into a rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough and then lemon curd and jam. sprinkle sugar, lemon zest, and salt evenly over the dough leaving a 1 inch border.

Step 5

-Roll up the dough into a log starting with the longest side furthest from you. Cut the log into 8 slices using a sharp knife.

Step 6

-Butter a 9×13 inch baking pan. Arrange the slices with the cut side up in the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator overnight, 8-12 hours. Or to make rolls on the same-day, allow rolls to rise again in a warm environment for another 1-2 hours until puffy and then bake.

Step 7

-Remove from refrigerator and let rolls sit out to reach room temperature for 1 – 2 hours, until puffy, before baking. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and bake rolls until lightly golden brown, about 30 minutes. While lemon sweet rolls bake, prepare icing and top once they come out.

Step 8

-Beat butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add powdered sugar and slowly add in milk and then lemon zest and juice. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
