Ingredients

Dough:

  • ½ cup warm water , about 110°F
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • ½ cup whole milk (114 g) room temp
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large yolk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (520 g)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter (70 g), softened, cut into tablespoons
  • ½ cup finely chopped Oreo cookies

Filling:

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter (76 g) softened
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (38 g)
  • 1 cup finely chopped Oreo cookies

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz brick-style cream cheese (113 g), room temp
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (57 g), softened
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cup confectioners' sugar (170 g), also known as powdered sugar
  • finely chopped Oreo cookies , to garnish

Instructions

  • DOUGH: Sprinkle yeast over warm water. Add about 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 5-7 minutes to allow mixture to bubble and activate.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together yeast mixture, warm milk, remaining sugar, egg, and egg yolk. Whisk salt into flour.
  • Add 2 cups of flour to mixing bowl. Use the dough hook attachment to mix together. Add another 1 cup of flour. Continue to knead on low speed while adding softened butter 1 Tbsp at a time. Add remaining cup of flour and knead until dough is smooth and cleans the sides of the bowl.
  • Add chopped cookies and mix until evenly distributed.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for about an hour until dough has doubled in volume.
  • Punch down risen dough. Transfer to a clean working surface. Roll dough into a 20 x 14- inch rectangle.
  • FILLING: Spread softened butter over dough. Sprinkle sugar and chopped cookies on top. Gently press until dough.
  • Starting at the long side, roll dough into a log. Slice log into 12 equal parts. Place rolls into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan (quarter sheet pan size) . Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30-45 minutes at room temperature to allow roll to rise.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap and bake rolls for 30-33 minutes until golden brown on top and the internal temperature of the rolls hit 185° F. Allow rolls to rest for 5 minutes to slightly cool before frosting.
  • CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread over warm rolls. Top with chopped Oreo cookies.

Notes

REHEATING NOTES: To keep the rolls moist, place a glass of water in the microwave along with the bread roll. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until bread is warm. The water prevents the bread from drying out.
