Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes , until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, and yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes , until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour , or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Assemble the Rolls

  1. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 12×16 inches).
  2. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the butter, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Arrange the Oreo halves or quarters evenly over the dough, pressing them gently into the sugar mixture.
  5. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  6. Cut the log into 8–10 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.

    Step 3: Let the Rolls Rise

    1. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between each roll. Cover with a towel and let them rise for 30–45 minutes , or until puffy.

    Step 4: Bake

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .
    2. Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes , or until golden brown.

    Step 5: Make the Glaze

    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk for a thinner glaze or more sugar for a thicker consistency.

    Step 6: Serve
