Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ tsps (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps cream cheese, softened
- 1–2 tbsps milk (as needed for consistency)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Crushed Oreos (for topping)
Instructions
- Yeast Activation: Dissolve yeast in warm milk, allowing the mixture to become frothy and aromatic for 5 minutes.
- Dough Base: Blend sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt, then integrate the activated yeast to form a cohesive mixture.
- Dough Preparation: Knead flour into the mixture on a lightly floured surface until achieving a smooth, elastic consistency, then transfer to a greased bowl and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
- Filling Creation: Combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a rich paste, while crushing Oreo cookies into uneven crumbs.
- Dough Rolling: Stretch the risen dough into a rectangular shape, spreading the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly and sprinkling Oreo crumbs across the surface.
- Roll Formation: Tightly roll the dough from the long edge, creating a compact log, then slice into 12 equal portions and arrange closely in a greased baking dish.
- Proofing and Baking: Allow rolls to rise for 30 minutes, then bake in a preheated 350F oven until golden brown and enticing.
- Glaze Finishing: Whisk powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla into a smooth glaze, drizzling generously over warm rolls and optionally garnishing with additional crushed Oreos.
- Serving: Present immediately, inviting everyone to enjoy the warm, decadent treat.
Notes
- Master Yeast Activation: Ensure milk is precisely warm (110-115°F) to activate yeast without killing it, creating perfect rising conditions.
- Prevent Dough Stickiness: Dust work surface lightly with flour and knead gently to achieve smooth, elastic texture without overworking the dough.
- Optimize Roll Consistency: Use dental floss or sharp knife for clean, even slices when cutting the rolled dough, maintaining uniform roll sizes.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Substitute regular flour with gluten-free blend, use dairy-free milk and cream cheese alternatives for lactose-sensitive individuals.
