Peanut Butter Swirls Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

45 25 70

Ingredients

2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup 2% milk
6 tablespoons butter, cubed
1 egg
FILLING:
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2/3 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/4 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. For filling, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, butter, 1/4 cup cream, peanut butter, brown sugar and honey. Stir in peanuts and peanut butter chips. Spread half of filling to within 1/2 in. of edges; reserve remaining filling for topping.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. Place cut side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Bake at 325° for 24-28 minutes or until golden brown. In a small bowl, beat confectioners' sugar, remaining filling and cream; spread over warm rolls. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 1 dozen.
