How to Make Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Activate the Yeast
Start by combining the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp brown sugar in a small bowl. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating that the yeast is active and ready to go.
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla, eggs, and remaining brown sugar. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Then, add the bread flour and salt. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for 2 minutes, then increase to medium speed and knead for 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, you can knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes.)
First Rise
Grease a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm area for 60-90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
While the dough is rising, prepare the Biscoff filling. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Roll and Fill
Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the Biscoff butter mixture evenly over the surface, going all the way to the edges. Sprinkle the cookie-sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top and press it gently into the dough.
Cut and Shape
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 equal strips. Carefully roll each strip into a spiral, then place the rolls in a greased baking pan, swirl-side up.
Second Rise
Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, until they look puffed and pillowy.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F. If desired, pour the ¼ cup of heavy cream over the rolls before baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown.
Make the Frosting
While the rolls are baking, prepare the Biscoff cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Finish and Serve
As soon as the Biscoff cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, spread the warm frosting evenly over the top. Sprinkle with additional crushed Biscoff cookies for a beautiful, bakery-worthy presentation. Serve these irresistible rolls warm and enjoy every bite of this indulgent breakfast treat!
Tips for Perfect Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Achieving the perfect Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls is all about attention to detail. Here are a few tips to ensure your rolls turn out amazing:
Choosing the Right Flour
For the fluffiest, most tender cinnamon rolls, use bread flour or a high-quality all-purpose flour. The higher protein content in bread flour helps create a stronger gluten structure, resulting in a pillowy soft dough.
Mastering the Dough Texture
The key to a perfect cinnamon roll dough is achieving the right balance of moisture and structure. The dough should be smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky to the touch, but not overly sticky. Knead the dough until it passes the “windowpane test” – you should be able to stretch a small piece of dough thin enough to see through it without it tearing.
Importance of Rising Times
Don’t skimp on the rising times! The first and second rises are crucial for developing flavor and allowing the gluten to relax, resulting in a tender, fluffy texture. Keep an eye on the dough during the rises and adjust the timing as needed based on your kitchen’s temperature and humidity.
Serving and Enjoying Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
Perfect Pairings
These indulgent Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee, a refreshing glass of milk, or a steaming mug of hot chocolate. The caramelized, cinnamon-spiced flavors complement the rich, creamy frosting perfectly.
Creative Serving Ideas
For a fun presentation, serve the Biscoff cinnamon rolls in individual ramekins or on a large platter, allowing everyone to enjoy their own decadent roll. You can also cut the rolls in half to create mini “bites” for a crowd-pleasing dessert or brunch spread.
Storing and Reheating
Leftover Biscoff cinnamon rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or place them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through. The frosting may need a quick re-whisk or stir to restore its creamy texture.
FAQs About Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls
How can I adjust the recipe for high-altitude baking?
Baking at high altitudes (typically above 3,500 feet) can affect yeast doughs like Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls. To adjust, you may need to increase the oven temperature by 15-25°F, reduce the amount of flour slightly, and increase the liquid by 1-2 tablespoons. Additionally, reduce the rising time, as dough tends to rise faster at higher altitudes. Keep an eye on the dough during the first and second rises to ensure it doesn’t over-proof.
Can I add additional flavors or ingredients to the filling?
Absolutely! You can customize your Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls by adding ingredients like chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), raisins, or even chocolate chips to the filling. For a twist, consider incorporating spices such as nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth. Just be mindful not to overload the filling, as it can make rolling and baking more challenging.
What should I do if my frosting is too runny?
If your cream cheese frosting turns out too runny, it may be due to overmixing or using ingredients that are too warm. To thicken it up, gradually add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. If you’ve added too much liquid (like milk or Biscoff cookie butter), you can also refrigerate the frosting for about 30 minutes to help it firm up before spreading it on the rolls.
How can I make my Biscoff cinnamon rolls extra gooey?
To achieve extra gooey Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls, consider adding a layer of Biscoff cookie butter between the filling and the dough. You can also drizzle some heavy cream over the rolls before baking, which will create a custard-like texture during baking. Lastly, ensure that the rolls are not overbaked, as this can lead to dryness; aim for a golden color and a soft texture when they come out of the oven.
