Peanut Butter Cinnamon Rolls
FOR DOUGH:
1 pkg. active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp.)
3/4 cup warm non-fat milk (heated to about 120, about 30-45 seconds in microwave)
1/3 cup sugar
3 T. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
paddle attachment & dough hook for your mixer
FOR FILLING:
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
FOR FROSTING:
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 T. butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 T. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extractRecipe
Make Dough:
Place milk in a microwave measuring cup.
Heat 30-45 seconds in microwave, until it's about 120.
Add yeast, stir.
Let it sit a few minutes.
Place sugar, butter, salt, egg in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.
Mix until butter is distributed throughout liquids, although it may be chunky.
Pour in milk/yeast mixture, stir a few seconds.
Add flour, stir with paddle attachment just until mixture starts to stick to paddle.
Then replace paddle with dough hook.
Continue mixing on low speed until dough forms a ball in center of bowl.
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, place dough ball in it.
Spray top of dough ball with cooking spray, lightly, cover bowl with plastic wrap.
Let sit 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
If your house is warm, it should rise no problem.
If it's cold in your house, it may take longer for dough to rise, so plan accordingly.
Prepare Rolls:
Stir together peanut butter, brown sugar.
Once dough is risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12x9".
Spread peanut butter filling as evenly as possible over rectangle, making sure to reach to sides so outer rolls have enough filling.
Filling isn't very spreadable with a knife, so you can place it around rectangle,
smooth it with hands.
Roll dough up tightly from long end.
Slice it into 9 equal rounds.
Place rolls into a 9" pan or 9 1/2" round pie plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
At this point, you can let them rise about 30 minutes 1 hour until they are swelling up in pan, bake as directed.
Or you can do what I do; cover with plastic wrap, stick in refrigerator overnight until ready to bake.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350.
If rolls have been in refrigerator, remove them, let them come to room temperature while oven is preheating.
Remove plastic wrap, bake 15-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Make Frosting if desired:
These rolls are perfect on their own, but if you want a cream cheese frosting, make it while they bake, or night before, store in refrigerator.
Mix cream cheese, butter with a hand mixer until well blended.
Mix in powdered sugar until smooth, stir in vanilla.
Frost rolls, serve warm.
