Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ tsp salt
For the Sticky Toffee Filling:
- 1 cup chopped soft dates
- ¾ cup hot water
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the Biscoff Layer:
- ¾ cup Biscoff spread
For the Sticky Sauce:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Biscoff spread
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Add egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 3: Prepare the Sticky Toffee Filling
In a bowl, combine chopped dates with hot water. Let them soften for 10 minutes, then mash into a thick paste. Stir in brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Once risen, roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 10×16 inches). Spread the sticky toffee mixture evenly across the surface.
Step 5: Add the Biscoff Layer
Spread Biscoff evenly over the toffee layer, creating a rich, double-layered filling.
Step 6: Roll and Slice
Roll the dough tightly into a log from the long edge. Slice into 12 even rolls.
Step 7: Prepare the Pan
Pour a portion of the sticky sauce (see next step) into the bottom of a greased baking dish. Arrange the rolls on top.
Step 8: Second Rise
Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Step 9: Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10: Make the Sticky Biscoff Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter with brown sugar. Add cream and simmer until thickened. Stir in Biscoff, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
Step 11: Finish and Serve
Pour warm sauce over the freshly baked rolls. Let soak slightly, then serve warm.
Tips for Perfect Sticky Rolls
- Don’t overheat the milk—it should be warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast
- Use soft dates for a smoother filling texture
- Roll tightly to create defined swirls
- Bake until just golden to keep the rolls soft and moist
- Serve warm for the best gooey texture
Flavor Variations
- Nutty Delight: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch
- Chocolate Twist: Sprinkle chocolate chips inside the filling
- Orange Zest Boost: Add citrus zest to brighten the flavor
- Spiced Version: Include nutmeg or cardamom for warmth
Serving Suggestions
These rolls shine on their own, but you can elevate them further:
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Pair with hot coffee or spiced tea
- Add a drizzle of extra Biscoff for indulgence
- Top with whipped cream for a dessert-style presentation
Storage and Reheating
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days
- Refrigerator: Keeps for up to 5 days
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months
To reheat, warm in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in the oven at low heat.
