Easy Lemon Rolls
These easy lemon rolls are unbelievably light, with an airy texture and a refreshingly lemony flavor. The crunchy topping offsets the tender bite inside perfectly.

Rise

Cover and let rise until rolls are doubled in size, approx. ⏱️ 1 hour, depending on your room temp. (Tip: I covered my baking pan with an equal-sized baking pan in lieu of cling wrap, to give room for rolls to rise upward.)
7
Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle. Carefully sprinkle remaining zest/sugar mixture evenly over the rolls.
8
Bake ⏱️ 16-18 minutes or just until golden.
