Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (Check expiration date for freshness)
- 1 cup Warm Milk (110°F / 43°C, dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Can substitute with brown sugar)
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted, plant-based butter for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Large Egg (Or flaxseed/chia seed egg substitute)
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can use whole wheat, adjust liquid accordingly)
Filling and Glaze:
- 1 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Ensure vegan-friendly if needed)
- Cinnamon (quantity not specified, approximate 2 tablespoons recommended)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Additional granulated sugar (for sprinkling, approximately 1-2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a cozy bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes bubbly and frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with melted unsalted butter, salt, large egg, and all-purpose flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, developing the gluten structure needed for a soft roll.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare Filling: Roll the risen dough into a rectangle. Spread the Biscoff cookie butter evenly across the surface, then sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon to add sweetness and warmth.
- Shape Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the long edge. Slice into 1-2 inch thick pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish, cut side up.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
- Glaze: While the rolls cool slightly, mix powdered sugar with milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle it over the warm rolls for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute egg with flaxseed or chia seed egg and use plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity according to taste preference; 1-2 tablespoons is a good starting point.
- Ensure the milk used for activating yeast is not too hot to prevent killing the yeast; 110°F (43°C) is ideal.
- For whole wheat flour use, increase the liquid slightly to maintain dough consistency.
- Letting the rolls cool slightly before glazing helps the glaze to stay on top without melting off completely.
- These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Reheat individually in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
