Creating Lemon Rolls is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add the foamy yeast mixture once ready.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.
8. Shape the Rolls: Spread softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with sugar and additional lemon zest if desired. Roll the dough tightly into a log.
9. Cut the Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
10. Second Rise: Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
11. Preheat Oven: While the rolls rise, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Bake: Once risen, bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
13. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
14. Glaze the Rolls: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the lemon glaze over them while they are still warm.
15. Garnish: Sprinkle with additional lemon zest for a beautiful presentation.
