  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup+2 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Filling

  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup almond meal
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown butter

  • 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar or icing sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Make the sweet dough: In a medium bowl, take milk along with water and add in granulated sugar. Mix well and sprinkle in active dry yeast. Cover it and let it sit for few minutes for blooming.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl take all purpose flour along with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, salt and mix well.
  3. Combine yeast mixture: Once the yeast seems frothy and foamy add it to the flour along with egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Knead the dough: Keep on folding the dough and transfer the dough to the floured surface and keep on kneading. Once the dough becomes soft and pliable, add in butter which should be soft enough to incorporate into the dough.
  5. Continue kneading: Once the butter is added, the dough seems sloppy, keep on kneading till the butter gets absorbed to the dough and knead till the soft tacky but nonstick dough is obtained.
  6. Cold rise: Grease a bowl and place the dough and cover it and place it in the refrigerator for cold rise. This will take upto 8 -12 hours. Make the dough and keep it chill overnight.
  7. Roll dough: Take the proofed dough the other day and roll the dough in the rolling surface using rolling pin.
  8. Prepare filling: For the filling mix together granulated sugar, brown butter, almond meal and spread the mixture in the rolled dough.
  9. Roll tightly: Roll the dough tightly without any gaps and seal the end tightly or pinch the dough together for perfect sealing.
  10. Slice rolls: Now use a serrated knife, make equal slices.
  11. Prepare baking pan: Line the 9*9 baking pan with parchment paper. Place the rolls evenly in the baking pan.
  12. Proof rolls: Let it proof for another 30 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 180C or 350F.
  14. Bake rolls: Place the proofed rolls in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  15. Cool rolls: Once the rolls are done remove the rolls and let it cool down to room temperature.
  16. Make icing: Prepare the icing by whisking icing sugar, milk and almond extract.
  17. Apply icing and top: Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls and top the rolls with sliced almonds.
  18. Finish: Finish it with dusting some icing sugar on top.

Notes

  • Allow the dough to cold rise in the refrigerator overnight for best texture.
  • Ensure the butter is softened before incorporating into the dough.
  • Use a serrated knife to get clean, even slices of the rolled dough.
  • Let the baked rolls cool to room temperature before icing to prevent melting.
