Homemade Pistachio Rolls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Tangzhong

01 - 20 g bread flour
02 - 100 ml whole milk

→ Main Dough

03 - 330 g bread flour
04 - 60 g granulated sugar
05 - 30 g milk powder
06 - 8 g instant yeast
07 - 1 egg
08 - 1 egg yolk
09 - 1 teaspoon salt
10 - 120 ml warm whole milk
11 - 60 g unsalted butter, softened

→ Filling and Topping

12 - 1 jar pistachio spread
13 - Chopped pistachios for sprinkling (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Mix bread flour and milk in a pot. Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until it forms a thick paste. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool.
02 - Combine all dough ingredients except butter in a large bowl, including the cooled tangzhong. Mix until a dough forms, then add softened butter and knead for 15 minutes. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
03 - Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1-2 hours.
04 - Roll dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 1-1.5 cm thick. Spread melted pistachio spread over the dough, then tightly roll from the long end. Cut into 9 pieces using floss or a knife.
05 - Place rolls in an 8-inch square cake tin. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour until they become fluffy and soft.
06 - Bake at 180°C/350°F for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with melted pistachio spread and sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

# Notes:

01 - These rolls use the tangzhong method for an extra soft, fluffy texture
02 - Can be topped with either melted pistachio spread or cream cheese icing
