→ Filling
→ Cream Cheese Icing
Instructions
Combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Allow to sit for approximately 5 minutes until mixture becomes foamy, indicating yeast activation.
Incorporate melted butter, eggs, salt, and mashed banana into the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead thoroughly for 10 minutes, achieving a smooth and elastic texture. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm environment for 1 hour, or until doubled in volume.
In a separate bowl, blend softened butter with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until a uniform, spreadable consistency is reached.
Roll risen dough into a 50 x 35 cm rectangle. Evenly spread cinnamon-sugar filling over dough; sprinkle with walnuts if desired. Tightly roll up along the long edge and cut into 12 portions of equal width.
Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 175°C. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
Whip together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread generously over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, ensure bananas are fully ripe with deep yellow skins and brown flecks. Walnuts add texture but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
