Vanilla cream rolls are a delightful treat, perfect for any occasion. Here’s a simple recipe to make them
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup milk, lukewarm
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
For the vanilla cream filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together lukewarm milk, melted butter, and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Vanilla Cream Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×18 inches.
- Spread the prepared vanilla cream filling evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll for rising.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan.
- Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
- Glaze the Rolls:
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a few more minutes before serving.
Enjoy your homemade vanilla cream rolls! They are best served fresh and warm, perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of day.
