Ingredients
Method
Preparing the Dough
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- In another bowl, mix melted butter and eggs. Add the yeast mixture once it is frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Making the Filling
- In a bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pistachios, stirring until mixed well.
Rolling the Dough
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle.
- Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle the pistachio mixture evenly on top.
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Baking the Rolls
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
Making the Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
