Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups warm milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups chopped cooked bacon
• 0.5 cups chopped dried apricots
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 batch egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the bacon and chopped dried apricots for the filling.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 7

Flatten each piece into a small circle and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center.

Step 8

Pinch the edges of the dough to seal the filling inside and roll it gently into a ball. Repeat with all the dough pieces.

Step 9

Place the filled rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

Step 10

Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes, until puffy.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.

Step 13

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. The mystery of the sweet and savory filling will delight your guests!
