Sweet Roll Dough Recipe:
¼ cup water, 115 degrees
1 tsp sugar
1 package active dry yeast
2 eggs, beaten
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp canola or vegetable oil (for the bowl)
Combine water, sugar & active dry yeast in a bowl. Let the yeast activate for five min.
Mix the eggs, whole milk, butter, sugar, salt & vanilla extract in a bowl.
Combine the yeast mixture, egg mixture & flour in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or mix it by h& with a wooden spoon.
Mix until a soft dough forms & pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Knead the dough in your mixer or by h& for five min.
Generously oil a bowl with canola or vegetable oil. Place dough in the bowl & cover with oil on all sides. Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap & leave it in a warm place to rise for at least an hour or until doubled in volume.
In the meantime, prepare your filling.
Once your dough has risen completely, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll it out until it’s approximately 15″ by 9″.
PB&J Sweet Roll with Strawberry Glaze Recipe
PB&J Filling
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsps brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup strawberry jelly
Strawberry Glaze
2 Tbsps unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
1 Tbsp whole milk
1 Tbsp strawberry jelly
Dough recipe above.
Brush the surface with melted butter, leaving a one-inch perimeter so the ends will stick together once it’s rolled. Spread filling mixture over the surface. Gently roll dough lengthwise as tightly as possible. Cut off about a half inch of dough on either side. Then, using a sharp, serrated bread knife, slice the log into 12 equal rolls.
Place the rolls, cut-side down, on a well-buttered baking pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a tea towel & allow the rolls to rise for at least another hour in a warm place.
Once the rolls have risen a second time, brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake in an oven pre-heated to 350°F for approximately 25 min or until golden brown.
Prepare your glaze by combining butter, icing sugar, milk, & vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisk until it is smooth.
Once rolls have finished baking, remove them from oven & pour glaze over while they are still warm.
