Ingredients
Dough:
- 100 g (1/3 cup) milk
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 250–270 g ( 2–2 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 60 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 45 g (3 tbsp) butter
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
Filling:
- 80 g (6 tbsp) soft butter
- 200 g Oreos ( 12–14 Oreos)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Icing:
- 200 g (under 1 cup) butter
- 250 g (2 cups) powdered sugar
- 100 g (1/2 cup) cream cheese
Topping:
- 2 Oreos, chopped
Instructions
Dough
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes until frothy.
- Make the dough by adding flour, granulated sugar, egg, and egg yolk. Knead for 14 minutes until smooth.
- Add the remaining butter and knead for about 10 more minutes.
- First proof: let the dough rise in a warm spot at about 29°C (84°F) until doubled in size, around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Assemble
- Prepare the filling by blending Oreos with cinnamon. Spread softened butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the Oreo-cinnamon mixture evenly.
- Shape the rolls by cutting the dough into strips, rolling each individually, and placing them in a greased baking dish.
- Second proof: let the shaped rolls rise at 29°C (84°F) for 30–45 minutes until puffy. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and drizzle a little heavy cream over the rolls before baking for extra fluffiness.
Bake and prepare icing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the icing by whipping room-temperature butter until soft, scraping the sides and bottom as needed. Add powdered sugar and mix until slightly white and fluffy, then add cream cheese and continue mixing until smooth.
- Finish the rolls by spreading icing on top and sprinkling with chopped Oreos.
Equipment
Notes
- Make sure your yeast is fresh and properly activated; old yeast can prevent the dough from rising.
- Use room-temperature butter and eggs for a smooth, elastic dough.
- Proofing is key: underproofed dough will result in dense rolls, overproofed dough may collapse.For evenly sized rolls, try to cut strips of similar width before rolling.
- Drizzling a little heavy cream before baking helps make the rolls extra fluffy.
- Always cool slightly before adding the icing to prevent it from melting.
