Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (2%)
- 1/2 cup salted butter (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 package)
- 15 large marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Put the milk (110-115ºF) and the melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. The milk and butter mixture should be between 110-115ºF. Sprinkle the yeast over the top of the mixture and allow it to sit until slightly frothy (3-4 minutes).
- Add the sugar, room temperature eggs, salt, and flour. (Be sure to not pack the flour into the cup. Spoon the flour into the cup carefully, then level it with a knife.)
- With a paddle attachment for your stand mixer, mix for a few seconds until just combined. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes.
- Switch the attachment to the dough hook and knead on medium speed for 7-8 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until nearly doubled.
- Divide and roll dough into 15 balls. Flatten a dough ball in the palm of your hand.
- Place a large marshmallow in the middle of the dough. Wrap the dough around, being careful to completely cover and seal the marshmallow inside the dough.
- Roll the dough ball until it is smooth. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cover and rise for 15-20 minutes while the oven is preheating to 375ºF.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, the sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve warm.
