Let’s cook Oreo Cinnamon Rolls together!
Dough ingredients:
• Warm milk — 250 g (about 1 cup + 1 tbsp)
• Instant dry yeast — 6 g (about 2 tsp)
• Sugar — 80 g (about ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp)
• Pinch of salt
• Egg — 1 large
• Butter, softened — 80 g (about ⅓ cup)
• All-purpose flour — 530 g (about 4¼ cups)
Filling ingredients:
• Butter, melted — 60 g (about ¼ cup)
• Sugar — 4 tablespoons
• Ground cinnamon — ½ tablespoon (or 1½–2 teaspoons)
• Oreo cookies, finely crushed — 16 cookies
Cream cheese frosting ingredients:
• Butter, softened — 70 g (about 5 tablespoons)
• Powdered sugar — 3 tablespoons
• Cream cheese (or soft curd cheese) — 120 g (about ½ cup)
• Oreo cookies, finely crushed (for topping) — 4 cookies
Instructions:
-
Make the sponge: In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon flour (taken from the total amount). Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
-
Add the remaining sugar, egg, and pinch of salt to the sponge. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
-
Gradually add the flour and softened butter. Knead into a soft, elastic dough (about 5 minutes by hand or mixer). The dough should be soft and slightly tacky.
-
Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Prepare the filling: Mix melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and finely crushed Oreo cookies until it forms a spreadable mixture.
-
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 5–7 mm / ¼ inch thick).
-
Spread the Oreo-cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
-
Cut the log into equal pieces (12–15 rolls, depending on desired size).
-
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish with a little space between them.
-
Cover with a towel and let them rise again for 15–20 minutes.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
-
While the rolls are baking, make the frosting: Beat softened butter with powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese and beat until smooth and creamy.
-
Let the baked rolls cool for a few minutes (warm but not hot), then spread generously with the cream cheese frosting.
-
Sprinkle the top with finely crushed Oreo cookies.
Enjoy your rich chocolatey Oreo cinnamon rolls!
