📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Dough:
2
Place milk in a microwave safe measuring cup. Heat for ⏱️ 30-45 seconds in the microwave, until it’s about 110-120°F. Add yeast and ½ teaspoon of the granulated sugar (from the ⅓ cup called for) and stir. Let it sit for a few minutes to proof and bubble up.
3
Place remaining granulated sugar, butter, salt, and egg in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
(8g) active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)1 package(42g) unsalted butter (, softened)3 tablespoonslarge egg1(372g) all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)3 cups(170g) mini chocolate chips (optional)1 cup(57g) unsalted butter (, softened)4 tablespoons(226g) powdered sugar2 cups
4
Mix until the butter is distributed throughout the liquids, although it may be chunky. Pour in the milk/yeast mixture and stir for a few seconds.
5
Add flour and stir with the paddle attachment just until the mixture starts to stick to the paddle.
6
Replace the paddle with the dough hook. Continue mixing on low speed until the dough forms a ball in the center of the bowl.
7
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough ball in it. Spray the top of the dough ball with cooking spray (lightly) and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let sit for ⏱️ 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
8
Note on rising: if your house is warm, it should rise no problem. If it’s cold in your house, it may take longer for the dough to rise, so plan accordingly!
9
Prepare your Rolls:
10
Stir together brown sugar and cinnamon.
(8g) active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)1 package(42g) unsalted butter (, softened)3 tablespoons(372g) all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)3 cupsground cinnamon1 tablespoon(170g) mini chocolate chips (optional)1 cup(57g) unsalted butter (, softened)4 tablespoons(226g) powdered sugar2 cups
11
Place the peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for ⏱️ 30-60 seconds or until pourable.
12
Once the dough is risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12” by 9”. Spread the peanut butter as evenly as possible over the rectangle, making sure to reach to the sides so the outer rolls have enough filling. Sprinkle with brown sugar mixture.
13
Roll the dough up tightly from the long end. Slice it into 12 equal rounds. Place the rolls into a 9x13-inch baking pan that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
14
At this point, you can let them rise for about ⏱️ 1 hour, or until they are swelling up in the pan and bake as directed. Or you can cover with plastic wrap and stick in the refrigerator overnight until ready to bake.
15
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. If the rolls have been in the refrigerator, remove them and let them come to room temperature while the oven is preheating. Remove the plastic wrap and bake for ⏱️ 15-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
16
Make the frosting (if desired):
17
Mix peanut butter and butter with a hand mixer until well blended. Mix in powdered sugar until crumbly. Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons heavy cream and mix until desired consistency, adding more cream slowly as needed. Frost warm rolls.
18
Store rolls loosely covered for up to 2 days on the counter. Wrap well with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
