Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine the warm milk and active dried yeast in a mixing bowl; allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it's frothy.
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter and caster sugar in another bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the yeast mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the high grade flour and salt, mixing until a dough begins to form.
  6. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
  7. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, which may take about 1-2 hours.
  8. Roll out the dough and spread the cream cheese and lemon curd evenly on top.
  9. Sprinkle the frozen raspberries and flaked almonds over the spread, then roll the dough into a log.
  10. Slice the log into 8 pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  11. Allow to rise again until puffed, about 30-45 minutes.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for roughly 20 minutes.
  13. Dust with icing sugar right before serving.
