Description

Indulge in decadent chocolate pistachio cinnamon rolls, combining fluffy dough with white chocolate and crunchy pistachios, drizzled in a sweet glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Mixing the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and butter until warm. Pour this over the flour mixture and add the egg. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
  2. Kneading the Dough: Dust your surface with flour and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  3. Preparing the Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the risen dough into a large rectangle, spread with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon, brown sugar, pistachios, and white chocolate chips over it.
  4. Rolling and Slicing: Roll the dough into a log and cut into slices, placing them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  5. Baking: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and aromatic.
  6. Glazing: Whisk powdered sugar with milk for a smooth glaze and drizzle over warm rolls.
  7. Serving: Serve warm and enjoy the delight.

Notes

For a make-ahead option, prepare the dough up to the first rise and refrigerate overnight. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
