Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
Filling and Stuffing Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup softened butter
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 crushed Oreo cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by warming milk and dissolving it with a pinch of sugar, allowing it to become frothy and alive for about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt, creating a welcoming landscape for the yeast mixture.
- Integrate the softened butter, egg, and activated yeast into the dry ingredients, kneading until a smooth, elastic dough forms with a silky texture.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour, allowing it to double in volume and develop rich flavor complexity.
- Roll out the dough into a generous rectangular shape, creating a thin, even canvas for the cinnamon-sugar landscape.
- Spread softened butter across the dough’s surface, then generously sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create a fragrant, sweet foundation.
- Strategically place whole Oreo cookies across the dough, spacing them evenly to ensure each roll receives a decadent chocolate surprise.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, encasing the Oreo cookies within the cinnamon-sugar embrace.
- Slice the log into 12 uniform rounds, placing them in a prepared baking dish with enough space for expansion.
- Allow the rolls to proof for an additional 30 minutes at room temperature, letting them become puffy and promising.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes, until the rolls transform into golden-brown masterpieces with crisp edges.
- While cooling, whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create a luxurious glaze.
- Drizzle the creamy topping over warm rolls, then sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies for a final dramatic flourish.
Notes
- Activate yeast precisely by ensuring milk temperature is warm (110-115°F), preventing yeast from dying or remaining inactive.
- Maintain consistent dough moisture by adding flour gradually, adjusting texture to achieve smooth, elastic consistency without becoming dry or sticky.
- Choose room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs to guarantee even mixing and optimal dough development, enhancing overall roll texture.
- Prepare gluten-free variation by substituting all-purpose flour with a blend of gluten-free flour, adding xanthan gum for improved structural integrity.
