Ingredients
Scale
Yeast Mixture
- 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (Check expiration date for freshness)
- 1 cup Warm Milk (110°F / 43°C, can use dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Can substitute with brown sugar)
Dough
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted, can use plant-based butter for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Essential for flavor)
- 1 Large Egg (Can substitute with flaxseed or chia seed egg)
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can use whole wheat flour, adjust liquid)
Filling and Glaze
- 1 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Ensure it’s vegan-friendly if needed)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Adjust for desired sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (Use dairy or non-dairy based on preference)
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’s bubbly and frothy, indicating the yeast is active and ready for the dough.
- 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 starts to form, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Knead Dough: Transfer your dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic, which helps develop the gluten for a light, airy roll.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. This step is crucial for fluffy rolls.
- Prepare Filling: Once risen, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the Biscoff cookie butter evenly across the surface. Optionally, sprinkle with cinnamon and a little sugar to enhance the flavor.
- Shape Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log from one long edge. Slice the log into pieces about 1-2 inches thick and place them in a greased baking dish, spaced slightly apart.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, allowing them to puff up before baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Glaze: While the rolls cool slightly, prepare a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over the warm rolls for added sweetness and moisture.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg and use plant-based milk and butter.
- Make sure your milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less powdered sugar.
- Try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or raisins inside the filling for extra texture.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
