Ingredients

For Dough

  • 1 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened

For Filling

  • 1 can Dulce De Leche
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a standing mixer** place the yeast, warm milk, eggs, salt, sugar, butter and 1 cup of the flour. Mix manually with a whisk until combined
  • Place the dough hook on the mixer and add the rest of the flour. Mix on medium - low speed for 6-7 minutes to knead the dough
  • Dough should be elastic and not sticky
  • Grease a bowl with non cooking spray or oil. Place the dough inside the bowl
  • Cover the bowl with plastic paper and then with a clean kitchen towel
  • Heat a cup of water in the microwave until it starts boiling
  • Open the microwave door, move the cup of water to the back and place the bowl with the dough in the middle
  • Close the microwave door and let the dough proof for 20 minutes (dough should double its size). DO NOT TURN ON THE MICROWAVE
  • Remove dough from microwave
  • With a rolling pin, stretch dough into a large rectangle. If dough is sticky, simply add some more flour
  • Empty the can of dulce de leche into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave dulce de leche for 25-30 seconds or until it becomes smoother and runnier (for easier spreading)
  • Brush the melted butter all over the surface of the dough
  • Spread the dulce de leche on top
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon over the dulce de leche
  • Roll the dough into a log tightly
  • Cut into log into 2 inch sections
  • Grease 2 rectangular baking dishes or 2-3 large cake pans
  • Place the rolls into the pan. Make sure that the rolls separated so they have enough room to rise. Cover pans with plastic paper and a clean kitchen towel
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and when it reaches temperature turn the oven OFF
  • Place the rolls inside and let them proof for 20 more minutes
  • Remove from oven and uncover the rolls.
  • Preheat the oven 350 Degrees F
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown
  • Enjoy

Notes

*Milk needs to be at a lukewarm temperature (around 100 Degrees F). If milk is too hot the yeast will die, if milk is cold or at room temp, the yeast will not activate.
**You can also make these by hand but the kneading times will be longer
***You can proof the dough in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day
