Instructions

For the Dough

• 1

  Grease a medium bowl. Set aside.

• 2

  In a stand mixer bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt. Set aside.

• 3

  Combine the whole milk, butter, and sugar in a small pot. Warm over low until the butter is just melted and the temperature is 105-110° F. Add the vanilla.

• 4

  With the mixer running on low with the dough attachment, add the milk mixture and the beaten egg. Mix for one minute until combined. Turn the mixer to medium speed and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, scraping down the bowl halfway through. This should take around 8 minutes. The dough should clear the sides of the bowl at this stage. Resist adding flour.

• 5

  Transfer the dough to the greased bowl. Form it into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.

Start the Assembly

• 1

  Preheat the oven to 350° F.

• 2

  Meanwhile, prepare for assembly. Melt the butter in a small pan over low. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and spices. Divide the sugar mixture in half for sprinkling later.

• 3

  Butter a 9-inch round baking pan with some of the melted butter.

• 4

  Punch down the dough, and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 15 pieces (about 32.5 g. per portion), shaping each into a smooth ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

• 5

  Roll a piece of dough into a flat disk around 3-4 inches in diameter. Roll a marshmallow in the butter. Then, coat it on all sides in the sugar and spices. Place the marshmallow in the center and pull the edges of the dough to the center, completely covering the marshmallow. Turn it over, smooth side up, and roll it into a ball. Start with one in the center of the pan. Surround it with five rolls for a flower pattern. Then add the rest of the rolls, evenly spaced, for the final outer row.

• 6

  Cover and let rise for 45-60 minutes.

• 7

  Use a basting brush like a magic wand, and butter the rolls to high heaven. More is more in this situation. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and spice mix.

Bake the Rolls

• 1

  Bake the rolls until golden brown, around 22-25 minutes, or until the edge of the rolls reads 190° F.

• 2

  These are best served warm, so the gooey-ooeyness of the marshmallows is still molten. Caution: The rolls you are about to enjoy are HOT!
