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
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Baking: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and aromatic.
- Glazing: Whisk powdered sugar with milk for a smooth glaze and drizzle over warm rolls.
- 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.
