Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk, lukewarm
- 2 large eggs
Filling Ingredients
- 15 Oreos, crushed into chunky pieces
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Frosting Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm and dissolve the yeast with a pinch of sugar. In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter, eggs, and milk with dissolved yeast, then mix and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Place it in a warm area and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Make the Filling: While the dough rises, crush the Oreos into chunky pieces and combine them with softened butter and cinnamon to create a creamy, crunchy filling.
- Roll and Fill: After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×16 inch rectangle. Spread the Oreo filling evenly over the dough, ensuring every bite will have a good amount of Oreo pieces.
- Shape the Rolls: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 1.5 to 2-inch thick slices and place them in a greased baking dish with space to rise. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for about 30 minutes as the oven preheats.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and irresistible in aroma.
- Prepare the Frosting and Drizzle: While baking, whip together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened butter until smooth. Once rolls are slightly cooled, generously spread the frosting on top for the perfect gooey finish.
Notes
- Use fresh, active yeast for the best rise.
- Keep dough thickness about 1/4 inch to maintain softness.
- Leave some Oreo pieces chunky for texture contrast.
- Ensure oven is fully preheated before baking.
- Apply frosting when rolls are warm, not hot, for optimal melting effect.
