How to Make Peanut Butter Rolls: A Simple Guide

Peanut butter rolls are a delightful, fluffy treat with a nutty twist, perfect for breakfast or snacks. Here’s an easy step-by-step guide to whip them up.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

- ½ cup warm milk

- ¼ cup sugar

- 2 tbsp softened butter

- ½ tsp salt

- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

- 2 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

- 1 egg, beaten (for glazing)

Instructions:

1. Activate yeast: Mix warm milk, 1 tbsp sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Make dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Knead until smooth (about 8-10 minutes). Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.

3. Prepare filling: Stir peanut butter and honey until creamy.

4. Shape rolls: Roll dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle. Spread peanut butter evenly, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll tightly like a log, then slice into 8-10 rolls. Place in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

5. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush rolls with beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy these soft, nutty rolls plain or with a drizzle of extra honey!
