Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 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)
- 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)
- 1–2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (commonly used with such fillings, inferred to be used with sugar)
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 to use.
- 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 evenly incorporated.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, developing the gluten structure necessary for fluffy rolls.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size, allowing the dough to ferment and expand.
- Prepare Filling: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangular shape. Evenly spread the Biscoff cookie butter over the dough, then sprinkle with granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon to add warmth and sweetness.
- Shape Rolls: Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into pieces about 1-2 inches thick. Arrange the slices cut side up in a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Second Rise: Cover the assembled rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for another 30-45 minutes to puff up before baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Glaze: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before drizzling with a glaze made by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth. This adds a sweet finishing touch and enhances the flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk and butter with plant-based alternatives to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- If you prefer, replace the large egg with a flaxseed or chia egg to suit dietary preferences.
- For extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the Biscoff spread before rolling.
- Ensure the milk for activating the yeast is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Use fresh active dry yeast for best results; expired yeast may not activate properly.
- Rolling the dough tightly helps achieve well-defined swirls filled with Biscoff cookie butter.
