Ingredients You’ll Need
For the dough:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the vanilla cream filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the glaze (optional):
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Dough
Start by combining the dry ingredients for the dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much. The dough should remain soft and slightly tacky.
2. Let the Dough Rise
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
3. Prepare the Vanilla Cream Filling
While the dough is rising, make the vanilla cream filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. If you prefer a thicker filling, you can whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch (optional). Once the cream is whipped to your desired consistency, set it aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
4. Shape the Rolls
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 12 inches by 18 inches. Spread the whipped vanilla cream evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seams to seal the roll. Slice the dough into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
5. Second Rise
Place the individual rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover the dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until they puff up and fill the baking dish.
