Ingredients

• Butter — 4 tbsp., divided
• Milk — 1 cup, slightly warm
• Honey — 2 tbsp.
• Egg — 1 pc.
• Salt — ¼ tsp.
• Active dry yeast — 2 tsp.
• All-purpose flour — 2 cups
• Cream cheese — 1 ½ oz.
• Heavy cream — 1 ½ oz.
• Powdered sugar — ½ cup

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray 4 Bundt pans or small cake pans with cooking oil.

2. In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp. of butter, milk, and honey, ensuring the honey is fully dissolved. Add the salt, yeast, egg, and flour, and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth.

3. Spoon the batter into greased Bundt pans.

4. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, then allow the batter to rise for 30 minutes.

5. Once risen, place the pans in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Test the rolls for doneness with a toothpick.

6. Prepare the frosting by combining the remaining butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, and sugar in a medium bowl.

7. After baking the rolls, allow them to cool before applying the frosting to each roll.

Substitutions

• Butter — Butter is an essential ingredient for both the dough and also for the frosting, as it provides a rich texture and flavorful taste. Although we don’t recommend replacing it, you can choose plant-based butter, which will work well in the recipe. Alternatively, use coconut oil, but remember that the dough's texture may differ slightly.

• Honey — If you prefer not to use honey when making sweet rolls, consider replacing it with other natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or agave syrup.

• All-purpose flour — In case you wish to substitute the all-purpose flour, an alternative could be whole-wheat flour or oat flour.

• Cream cheese — The silky texture of cream cheese covers the fluffy rolls beautifully, being the base of the frost. Greek yogurt is a healthier substitute for cream cheese since it is lower in fat and calories. Additionally, for a non-dairy version, you can use cashew or coconut cream.

• Heavy cream — Heavy cream complements cream cheese and butter to create a creamy frosting. Use full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut or cashew cream as plant-based substitutes.

Variations

• Add flavor — Add a dash of ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg when making the dough rolls for an appetizing warm flavor.

• Add texture — After adding the frosting, sprinkle some crushed walnuts or almonds over the rolls to add a crunchy note.

• Gluten-free — Various types of gluten-free flour can be utilized to make the rolls gluten-free, including almond flour, coconut flour, or a blend of gluten-free flour intended for baking purposes.

Equipment

• Measuring cups and spoons

• 4 Bundt pans or small cake pans

• Large mixing bowl

• Kitchen towel or plastic wrap

• Oven

• Toothpick

• Medium mixing bowl

• Spoon or spatula

Storage

• Make sure to allow your sweet rolls to cool down completely before storing them.

• After the sweet rolls have cooled, transfer them to an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent them from getting dry.

• It is safe to keep sweet rolls at room temperature for a maximum of three days. If you intend to store them for a longer period, it is advisable to freeze them (for up to three months).

Pro Tips

• It is essential to use active yeast, not dry yeast, to ensure your dough will rise properly.

• Letting the dough rise in a warm and draft-free place is important.

• To prevent the rolls from being over-brown, keep an eye on the oven while baking and cover them with aluminum foil if they start to turn too dark.
