Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons salted butter softened
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Filling
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 pound pistachios almonds, walnuts or a combination
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 to 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed.
- Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12 inch by 18 inch rectangle.
- Spread 1/2 cup of softened butter over the dough with a butter knife. In a food processor, combine the nuts, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Process until the nuts are coarsely ground. Sprinkle on top of the butter in an even layer. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.
- Place the slices onto a lightly 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top.
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together honey, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl.
- Drizzle glaze over rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.
