The recipe I didn’t know I needed! I’ve been making these non-stop, and adding chai spice has taken my love for cinnamon rolls to a whole new level. Recipe is as below: INGREDIENTS: Dough: - 1 cup warm milk - 2.5 tsp dry yeast - 4 tbsp brown sugar - ½ cup unsalted butter - 2 large eggs - 3 cups all purpose flour - ¾ tsp salt - 1 tsp of chai spice (See chai spice spices below) Filling: - 3 tbsp Chai Spice Mix: - 1 tbsp ground cinnamon - 1 tbsp ground ginger - 1 tbsp ground cloves - 1 tbsp ground cardamom - 1 tbsp ground coriander - 1 tsp ground star anise - ½ tsp salt - ¾ cup salted butter (melted) - 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar Topping on unbaked rolls: - ½ cup heavy cream (pour over the unbaked risen rolls) CHAI GLAZE: - ½ cup cream cheese - 3 tbsp unsalted butter - 1 cup powdered sugar - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 3-4 tablespoons strongly brewed chai METHOD: - Preheat the oven to 350°F. - Start by adding warm milk and active yeast to a stand mixer and stir until yeast is mostly dissolved - Add the following to the mixer: 4 tbsp brown sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp chai spice mix, and ¾ tsp salt. - Knead the mixture in the mixer for 7-10 minutes until it forms a slightly sticky dough. The dough should not stick to your fingers but should feel smooth and slightly slippery. - Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size. FILLING: - Mix the filling ingredients until fully combined. - Next, roll out the dough into a flat sheet, spread the filling evenly over the surface, and gently roll it up. BAKING: - Warm the heavy cream until it’s no longer cold, It should feel warm to the touch. - Once the rolls have risen, pour the ½ cup of heavy cream over them, letting it seep into and around the rolls. - Bake for 20-25 mins on 350 GLAZE: - In a small bowl, whisk together chai glaze ingredients - Drizzle the glaze over the cooled rolls, or spread it on warm rolls if you prefer - it will soak in more when applied warm.
