Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Almond Sweet Rolls
  1. In a stand mixer, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat 1 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter until melted. Gradually mix warm milk and melted butter into dry ingredients. Beat in 1 large egg and extracts. Slowly add remaining flour, kneading until smooth and elastic, about 5–8 minutes. Let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
  2. Prepare almond filling by combining 4 tablespoons of softened butter, 1 cup of almond meal, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and extracts in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  3. Once dough has risen, punch down and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Spread almond filling evenly, leaving a border. Roll tightly and cut into 12 pieces. Arrange in greased baking dish, cover, and rise for another hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly in the pan.
  5. Beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and 4 tablespoons of softened butter until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in almond extract and vanilla extract. Spread frosting over warm rolls and garnish with slivered almonds.
  6. Serve warm alongside coffee or tea. Enjoy your almond sweet rolls!
