Ingredients
– 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 standard packet) active dry yeast
– 3/4 cup (180ml) warm milk
– 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup (100g) shelled pistachios, finely chopped
– 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
– 2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast.
2. – Add the warm milk and melted butter, and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. – Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. – Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
5. – In a small bowl, mix together the chopped pistachios, cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
6. – Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12×9-inch rectangle.
7. – Spread the pistachio cream mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Tightly roll up the dough, starting from the long side.
8. – Cut the roll into 6 equal pieces and place them in a lightly greased 8-inch baking pan.
9. – Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
10. – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
11. – Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
12. – In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth and drizzly.
13. – Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
– For best texture, use room temperature cream cheese.
– If the glaze is too thick, add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
– These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
