Scale
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 7g instant yeast
- 1 pinch salt
- 250ml warm milk
- 100g melted butter
- 50g sugar
- 200g apricot jam
- 1–2 teaspoons orange blossom water
- Equal parts water and sugar for glazing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 500g of all-purpose flour, 7g of instant yeast, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together 250ml of warm milk, 100g of melted butter, and 50g of sugar until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1cm thick.
- Spread 200g of apricot jam evenly over the dough and sprinkle with orange blossom water to enhance the aroma.
- Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Create a well in the center of each roll and fill it with additional apricot jam.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool before glazing with a simple syrup made from equal parts water and sugar.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can adjust the amount of orange blossom water according to your preference.
- These rolls can be enjoyed fresh or stored for later use.
