Expert Tips

Measure and Roll: Use a ruler to ensure your dough is rolled out to 14×18 inches for even baking.
Easy Cutting: Use dental floss or sewing thread to slice the dough into rolls; it cuts cleanly without squishing.
Even Size: Cut 12 equally sized rolls to ensure they bake uniformly.
Pan Choice: Bake the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch pan for the best results.
Cool Before Frosting: Let the rolls cool for 10-20 minutes before adding frosting to let it melt perfectly over them.

Substitutions

Sugar: Use coconut sugar or honey (adjust liquid content if using honey).
Warm Milk: Substitute with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Ensure it’s warmed to help activate the yeast.
Dry Yeast: Use fresh yeast (about 0.6 ounces or 17 grams) or instant yeast (use the same amount).
Butter: Replace with margarine, coconut oil, or applesauce for a dairy-free option.
Eggs: Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) or chia eggs (1 tablespoon chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg).
Salt: Substitute with sea salt or kosher salt. Adjust quantity as needed.
Flour: Use whole wheat flour, gluten-free flour blend, or spelt flour. Adjust the amount slightly as needed.

How to make the Bread Dough

Here’s a quick guide on how to make the bread dough for your Biscoff cinnamon rolls. With just a few simple steps, you’ll create a soft, pliable dough that’s perfect for rolling and shaping. Let’s get started!

Warm milk, yeast, sugar, and butter ready to be combined.

In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, and butter. Mix well with a whisk. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.

Stir in beaten eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface or use a stand mixer for about 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with cling film and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Roll the dough tightly and cut it into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls 1 cm apart on a parchment-lined tray.

Cover with cling film and let them rise in a warm spot for 30-40 minutes.

A full list of ingredients and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

How to make the Caramel Sauce

Melt Sugar: Heat granulated sugar in a heavy-duty saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. The sugar will clump and then melt into a thick, amber liquid. This takes about 6 minutes.
Add Butter: Stir in 50 g butter once the sugar is melted. Be careful as it will bubble rapidly. If the mixture clumps, whisk vigorously until smooth. Return to heat if needed.
Add Cream: Slowly pour in 1/2 cup cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble. After adding the cream, let it boil for 1 minute.
Cool: Remove from heat and let the caramel cool before using.

Shaping the Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls

After the dough has risen, move it to a lightly greased surface. Roll it out into an 18×14-inch rectangle. Spread half of the caramel sauce or Biscoff spread over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly on top.

Roll the dough tightly and cut it into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls 1 cm apart on a parchment-lined tray. Cover with cling film and let them rise in a warm spot for 30-40 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the rolls with egg wash and drizzle with some caramel sauce. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the rolls cool for 10 minutes, then spread the remaining caramel sauce or melted Biscoff spread on top and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Serve fresh with milk, tea, or coffee.
