A Celebratory Occasion - Fig Rolls

We have finally hit a long awaited milestone at work so I made fig rolls to celebrate a release rolling out.  :)  I used this recipe with my own less sugary modifications.  Enjoy!

Fig Rolls

1/4 cup warm water

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 package instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup warm milk

1 large egg, room temperature

1 tb sugar

4 cups flour

1 package active dry yeast

1 jar fig butter (I found mine at Trader Joe's)

1 package cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 ts vanilla extract

Makes about 28 cupcake-sized rolls.

- Combine water, melted butter, vanilla pudding mix, milk, egg, sugar, flour, & yeast until well incorporated.

- Knead the dough a few times.

- Cover the dough & place in a warm area (no more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit) until it doubles in size.

- Lightly flour rolling pin & surface on which you will roll your dough out on.

- Roll dough out into a long rectangle & spread the entire jar of fig butter on the dough.

- Roll up dough, slice every 1-1.5" & place each slice into a cupcake pan.

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Cover the dough & place the rolls in a warm area.  I like to put mine on top of my stove because the heat from the preheating oven helps the rolls rise.

- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.

- To make the frosting, beat the remaining ingredients together while the rolls bake.

- Allow rolls to rest for 10-15 minutes before frosting the rolls.

Cheers to my wonderful team for all your hard work to get Release 4 to roll out!
