Resurrection or Surprise Rolls

Resurrection Rolls represent the empty tomb of Christ after being resurrected. Cinnamon sugar-coated marshmallows encased in squares of soft dough create the surprise. As each marshmallow melts it leaves a pocket of air and some gooey caramelized goodness.  Credit for this recipe goes to Red Star yeast


They are a little messy and they do ooze a bit during baking despite being securely sealed. NEXT TIME I’ll try baking them in foil cupcake lines or in silicon cups.  Note: Instead of making crosses on the top, I frosted the rolls with cream cheese frosting.

 

Resurrection or Surprise Rolls     Makes 12 rolls

2 to 2 1/4 cups (254 to 286g) bread flour, divided

1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast

1 1/2 teaspoons (4.5g) kosher salt (see note )

1/2 cup (120g) whole milk

1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter

1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar

1 tablespoon (21g) honey

1 large (50g) egg, room temperature

COATING/FILLING

1 tablespoon (6g) ground cinnamon

1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar

1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted

12 large (72g) marshmallows

EGG WASH

1 large (50g) egg, room temperature

1 tablespoon (15g) water

CROSS ICING: 1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar + 2 teaspoons (10g) water or Cream Cheese Icing to smear over the top 

Instruction

1.   Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix 2 cups (254 grams) bread flour, yeast, and salt at low speed until combined.

2.   In a small saucepan, heat milk, butter, sugar, and honey over medium-low heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). 

3.   Add warm milk mixture and egg to flour mixture, and beat at low speed until combined and a shaggy dough forms. 


4.   Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at medium speed until a smooth, elastic dough forms, about 12 minutes; add up to remaining ¼ cup (32 grams) flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky.

5.   Spray a medium bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 40 to 50 minutes. 

6.   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7.   Prepare coating: In a small bowl, stir together cinnamon and sugar. Reserve 1 tablespoon (12 grams) cinnamon sugar for topping. In another small bowl, place melted butter. 

8.   Make the rolls: Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 12 (3-inch) squares.

9.   Dip 1 marshmallow into melted butter; roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place coated marshmallow in center of a dough square. Wrap dough around marshmallow, completely enclosing marshmallow and pinching any seams. On a clean surface, roll filled dough into a smooth round to completely seal. Place, seam side down, on prepared pan.


10. Repeat with remaining dough squares, remaining marshmallows, remaining melted butter, and remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place rolls at least 1½ inches apart on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 35 to45 minutes.

11. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

12. Prepare egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water and remaining 1 egg (50 grams). Lightly brush tops of rolls with egg wash, and sprinkle with reserved 1 tablespoon (12 grams) cinnamon sugar as desired.

13. Bake the rolls: Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on pan for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan (leave any leaked sugar on parchment), and let cool completely on a wire rack.

14. Prepare icing: In another small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons (10 grams) water until smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag, and cut a ⅛- to 1/16-inch opening in tip. Or, make Cream Cheese frosting to smear over the top.
