Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can swap with bread flour)
  • 1 packet Active Dry Yeast (Instant yeast can reduce prep time)
  • 3/4 cup Warm Milk (Use non-dairy if preferred)
  • 1 Egg (For vegan, opt for a flax egg)
  • 2 tbsp Butter (Softened) (Replace with coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar (Brown sugar works beautifully)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Filling

  • 1/2 cup Pistachio Butter (Try almond or cashew butter)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (White sugar can be a substitute)
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon (Feel free to use nutmeg)

Icing

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Regular sugar can be blended into powder)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Almond extract is a delightful alternative)
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream (Substitute with coconut cream for non-dairy)
  • A spoonful of pistachio butter

Instructions

  1. Preparation Warm your milk until cozy. Combine it with the yeast and let it sit until foamy (about 5 minutes). Mix in the egg and softened butter, then add flour, sugar, and salt. Knead until smooth and elastic, around 5-7 minutes.
  2. First Rise Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  3. Mix Filling In a bowl, mix together pistachio butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Fold chopped pistachios into the mixture if desired.
  4. Shape Rolls Roll the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread pistachio filling on top, then roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 4-6 equal pieces.
  5. Second Rise Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish. Cover and allow them to rise until puffy (about 30-45 minutes).
  6. Bake Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 23-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Prepare Icing In a separate bowl, whip together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a spoonful of pistachio butter until smooth.
  8. Finish Once the rolls have cooled slightly, spread the icing generously over the warm rolls. Sprinkle with extra chopped pistachios if desired.
