Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Muffin tin
  • Muffin liners
  • Oven
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients

For the sweet roll dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the filling

  • 4 Chupa Chups lollipops (flavor of your choice), crushed
  • 1/2 cup crumbled halvah (sesame seed candy)

For the glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt for the sweet roll dough.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (around 110°F/43°C). Pour the warm milk into the dry ingredients.
  • In the mixture add the eggs and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Gently transfer the dough onto a surface lightly dusted with flour, and knead it for approximately 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Put the dough in a bowl that has been greased, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm location for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • After the dough has finished rising, gently punch it down to release any trapped air bubbles.
  • On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a rectangular shape.
  • Sprinkle the crushed Chupa Chups lollipops and crumbled halvah evenly over the dough.
  • Beginning from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
  • Cut the log into 12 equal-sized pieces.
  • Place each piece into a greased muffin tin lined with muffin liners.
  • Cover the muffin tin with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the muffins for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins and let them cool completely before serving.
