Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 2/3 cups bread flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (room temperature)
- 1/3 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 12 pineapple rings (drained and patted dry)
- 12 maraschino cherries
- For icing: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2–3 tablespoons whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Make the tangzhong by whisking together water and bread flour in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine remaining bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add cream, milk, egg, vanilla bean paste, and tangzhong; knead until a rough ball forms.
- Gradually add softened butter while mixing until smooth and elastic. Let rise covered until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Make the caramel topping by melting butter with brown sugar and salt on medium heat; set aside.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and assemble rolls by placing pineapple rings and cherries into the caramel mix.
- Roll out dough into a rectangle; spread filling evenly and cut into strips to form rolls.
- Arrange rolls over fruit in the pan; let rise again before baking at 325°F (162°C) for about 35–40 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly before flipping onto a serving plate and drizzling with icing.
