Disney: Where desserts come true

Iced rolls from Brave

Ingredients

For the rolls

1 cup warm milk

1 tablespoon dry yeast

4 tablespoon white granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter softened

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)

3 1/4 cups bread flour

12 maraschino cherries

For the icing

1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk, as needed

Instructions

1. Place the warm milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer, whisking gently to activate the yeast. Let the mixture sit for about five minutes.

2. After resting for five minutes, add the sugar, salt, butter, egg, vanilla extract, and flour to the bowl. Use a dough hook attachment to blend the ingredients at a medium speed.

3. After about 10 minutes, the dough should form a smooth ball. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a dish towel.

4. Leave the dough out to sit for an hour, allowing it to rise. It should double in size. Once the dough has risen, deflate it by punching it down, and place it on a lightly floured surface.

5. Divide the dough into twelve pieces, and roll it into balls. Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover them in plastic wrap. Let them sit for another hour, allowing time to rise.

6. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

7. Once the buns have risewn, remove the plastic wrap and place the tray in the oven. Bake for eighteen to twenty-five minutes or until golden brown. Let the buns cool before icing.

8. To ice, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. Pour a tablespoon of icing on each bun and top with a maraschino cherry.
