Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for brushing rolls)
- Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, dry yeast, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F. Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the warm milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough begins to come together.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the vanilla cream filling. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Spread the prepared vanilla cream filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll up the dough from one end to the other, creating a long log. Slice the dough into 1 1/2-inch thick rolls.
- Grease a baking pan and arrange the rolls in the pan, making sure they are close together. Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- After baking, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with melted butter for a glossy finish.
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
- Serve warm, and enjoy the soft, creamy, and indulgent Vanilla Cream Rolls.
