Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 2½ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup salted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2½ cups bread flour
  • ½ cup pistachio cream
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 8 oz cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top and let it sit until frothy.
  2. Mix in egg and softened butter until smooth. Add flour and salt to form a rough dough; let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Knead the dough until smooth (5–7 minutes). Let it rise in a greased bowl until doubled (30–45 minutes).
  4. Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread pistachio cream, sprinkle cinnamon-brown sugar mix, and chopped pistachios.
  5. Roll tightly into a log, slice into rolls using dental floss, place in a greased pan, and let proof again for 45 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), pour heavy cream over rolls, and bake for 23–30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before icing with the mixed cream cheese frosting.
