Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (warmed)
- 2¼ teaspoons yeast (or one package)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 whole eggs
- ½ cup butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 – 5½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup melted butter (for filling)
- ½ cup sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh apricots
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Start by warming your milk to about 110°F. Combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl and let it froth for 10-15 minutes.
- Mix the dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, the remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture.
- Add flour: Gradually incorporate 5 cups of flour until the dough pulls away from the bowl. Add more flour if too sticky.
- Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling: Mix melted butter, sugar, and chopped apricots in a bowl.
- Roll it out: After rising, punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
- Spread the filling: Evenly spread the apricot mixture over the rolled dough.
- Roll it up: Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and seal the edge.
- Slice and arrange: Cut into 1-inch slices and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second rise: Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and milk and drizzle it over the warm rolls.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based butter and milk.
