Step-by-Step Instructions
- Warm ¾ cup of whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat until just warm. Sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of yeast and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the bloomed yeast with 1 beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of softened butter, stirring until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing ⅓ cup of pistachio butter, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the pistachio filling evenly over the dough and tightly roll it into a log, slicing into 4-6 equal rolls.
- Place the cut rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and allow to rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 23-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls bake, prepare the icing by combining cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth.
- Once baked, cool the rolls for about 10 minutes and drizzle the icing over them.
