Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together melted butter and eggs. Then, add the activated yeast mixture to the wet ingredients.

  4. 4

    Form the Dough

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    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.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Shape the Dough

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.

  2. 8

    Add the Filling

    Spread the ricotta filling evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 9

    Roll and Cut

    Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other. Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.

  4. 10

    Second Rise

    Place the cut pieces in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  5. 11

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) during the second rise.

  6. 12

    Bake

    Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Topping Preparation

  1. 13

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

  2. 14

    Garnish

    Once the rolls are baked and cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
