Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt (plain whole fat)
- 1 large egg
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold salted butter (cubed)
FOR THE FILLING
- ½ cup finely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup apricot jam
FOR THE GLAZE
- ½ cup powdered/icing sugar (sifted)
- 2 tablespoons cream
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F (190C). Grease and flour or line an 9 inch (23cm) square or rectangle pan with parchment paper, be sure to lightly butter the paper.
- In a small bowl beat together the yogurt and egg.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the chopped or grated cold butter and combine until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and mix with a fork or spatula to form a soft dough (do not over mix).
- Move to a lightly floured flat surface and pat into a large rectangle, then roll out with a floured rolling pin to an 11×8 inch (28x20cm) rectangle. Spread the top of the dough with the apricot jam and sprinkle with 3/4 of the nut mixture. Roll up from the long end, pinch the edges to seal the dough. Cut into 9-12 slices. (I used a square pan and I made 9 slices).
- Arrange the slices cut side down on the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture. Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, until golden or a toothpick comes out clean or with a couple of crumbs attached. Remove from the pan and let cool to warm on a wire rack, then spread with the glaze if desired and serve.
FOR THE FILLING
- If you are using whole nuts it's best to toast them first (see notes for instructions), I used toasted hazelnuts for this recipe. In a food processor add the toasted nuts, and coarsely chop, then add the sugars and cinnamon and pulse or chop until finely ground but not a powder. If you purchase finely chopped nuts then you can skip the toasting and chopping process, and just mix the nuts, sugars and cinnamon together in a bowl.
FOR THE GLAZE
- In a bowl mix together until smooth the powdered sugar and cream. Depending on how thick you like it you can add more cream or more powdered cream. Spread over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
Notes
- I find it easier to use my clean hand to combine the butter with the dry ingredients to form coarse crumbs.
- If you use whole nuts, then it is a good idea to toast them first, it brings out more flavor. Place nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking / cookie sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 350F (180C) oven for 5-8 minutes or until they are golden brown, remove immediately from pan to cool in a clean bowl. Do not leave the nuts on the cookie sheet as they will continue to bake.
- .85 of 1 cup of whole nuts (hazelnuts or filberts) will give you 1 cup of chopped nuts.
- Store the cinnamon rolls in an airtight container, they will keep for up to 2-3 days at room temperature and up to 7 days in the fridge. You can warm them up in either a low oven or in the microwave.
- Freeze the completely cooled rolls in a freezer safe airtight container, or wrap in foil (either together or individually) and place in a freezer safe airtight bag. They will keep for up to 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature then warm in a low oven or microwave.
