Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped rhubarb
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk or cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Knead until smooth, about 8–10 minutes. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Prepare filling: In a small bowl, mix rhubarb with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll & fill: Roll dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread softened butter over the dough, then evenly sprinkle the rhubarb mixture.
- Shape rolls: Roll tightly into a log and cut into 9–12 rolls. Place in a greased baking dish.
- Second rise: Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden.
- Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or cream, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
- Ensure the rhubarb is finely chopped for even distribution.
