Vanilla cream rolls

Vanilla cream rolls are a delightful dessert that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the vanilla cream filling:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the glaze (optional):

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

For the dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
2. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk until warm (about 110°F or 45°C). Stir in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

For the vanilla cream filling:

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Assembling the rolls:

1. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
2. Spread the vanilla cream filling evenly over the dough.
3. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
4. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into about 12 equal slices.
5. Place the slices in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.
6. Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
9. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before glazing (if desired) or serving.

For the glaze (optional):

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

Enjoy your homemade vanilla cream rolls! They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
