Sugar Plum Rolls

Making sweet rolls is my love language. It has become a tradition for me to make different flavored rolls and this is another variation. If you happen to make my Sugar Plum Butter - make these. If you don't I have many other recipes you can enjoy.

Let's get started. 

Sugar Plum Rolls

Ingredients for the Dough:
1/4 cup Warm Water, about 110 degrees

1 package of Active Dry Yeast
4 Cups of All Purpose Flour

1/4 Cup Sugar

1 tsp. Sugar (for the yeast)

1 tsp. Salt

1 Egg

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted

3/4 cup Milk

Ingredients for the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar

2 Tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

Ingredients for the Filling:

3/4 Cup Sugar Plum Butter - Recipe on Site

Ingredients for the Glaze:

1/4 Cup. Cream Cheese, Softened

1 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

4-5 Tbsp. Milk

Directions 

In a small bowl combine the warm water, 1 tsp. sugar, and yeast. Set aside and let proof. You should be able to tell once the yeast is ready, as it starts to foam.

Using your standing mixer with the dough hook attached, in the bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and proofed yeast. Turn on your mixer to medium speed and kneed for 3-4 minutes or until the dough comes together. (This can be done by hand just mix together all of your ingredients with a wooded spoon, then start kneading by hand until the dough comes together about 8-10 minutes)

Add your dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a lint free kitchen towel and let rise for 1-2 hours.

Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and set aside.

Dump out the dough onto a floured surface and roll out your dough into a 16x8 inch rectangle. Spread your sugar plum butter evenly over the top. Combine the sugar filling together and sprinkle on top of the sugar plum butter.

Roll your dough onto itself making sure to keep the filling inside and seal the edges. Cut your dough into 11 even rolls and them  in you 9x13 inch pan.

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a lint free kitchen towel and let rise for half an hour.

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool and glaze.

For the glaze, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl and slowly drizzle in the milk one tablespoon at a time. Until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over the rolls, serve, and enjoy!!
