- 1-2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Cooking Steps:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and matcha powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Gradually add in the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
You can spread a lightly sweetened matcha filling (optional: combination of butter, brown sugar, and matcha powder) on the dough before rolling it up tightly.
4. Cut and Rise Again: Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick slices and place them in a greased baking dish.
Cover with a towel again and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffed up.
5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
If desired, check using a toothpick to confirm they are cooked through.
6. Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Drizzle or spread the glaze over the warm rolls once they come out of the oven.
Variations and Tips:
- Filling Variations: Consider adding sweetened cream cheese or chopped nuts for additional flavor and texture.
- Gluten-Free Version: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix.
- Extra Rich Flavor: Use coconut milk or almond milk in place of regular milk for a unique twist.
- Herb Infusion: Experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth in flavor.
- Storage: These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator or freeze for later use. Reheat in the oven for freshness.
