- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
 
- Add warm milk, eggs, and softened butter. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
 
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
 
- In a small bowl, mix together almond flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and almond extract to make the frangipane.
 
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
 
- Spread raspberry preserves evenly over the dough, followed by a thin layer of frangipane.
 
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 8 equal pieces.
 
- Place each piece into a greased muffin tin and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
 
- Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.
 
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
 
- Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Ensure butter is fully softened for both the dough and frangipane to incorporate smoothly.
 
- Use high-quality raspberry preserves for best flavor.
 
- Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before shaping and baking.
