- Measuring spoons
- 1 small towel to cover the dough while it rises
- 1 Cutting Knife
- 2 small mixing bowls for the filling & icing
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Baking Pan
- 1 Sifter for the powdered sugar
Ingredients
Dough
- 3 tbsp unsalted
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
Filling
- 6 strawberries minced
- 2 tbsp pistachios finely chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze
- ¾ cup powdered
- 1 ½ tbsp almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
Instructions
- In a medium sized sauce pan, heat the butter and almond milk until they are melted and warm. Do not boil.
- Transfer the butter/milk mixture to a large mixing bowl, sprinkle in yeast, let activate for 10 minutes, then add 1 tbsp brown sugar and the salt then stir.
- Add the flour in ½ cup increments, stirring as you go. Once all flour is added, add the matcha and mix until it is too thick to stir. Then, transfer to lightly powdered surface and knead for one minute. Clean your mixing bowl, coat in coconut oil or olive oil then add your dough back in. Cover with your small kitchen towel and let rise for one hour.
- While the dough is rising, create the filling by minced strawberries with chopped pistachios, brown sugar and cinnamon then mix.
- Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your cutting board or other surface, then roll out your dough into a thin rectangle. Spread the filling across all the dough.
- Roll the dough into a long long then take a sharp knife and lightly slice the dough into 1.5 inch sections and place in a round baking pan. Depending how how thick you decide to cut the rolls, it should yield 8-10 sections.
- Bake rolls at 350F for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. In the meantime, create the strawberry cream cheese glaze by combining the sifted powdered sugar, almond milk, cream cheese, vanilla and minced strawberries. Once the rolls are done baking, let cool, top with the glaze and enjoy!
