Equipment

1 9x13 pan
1 cutting board
1 mixer

Ingredients

Sweet Roll Dough

4 c all purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 c milk
1/3 c butter unsalted
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs room temp.

Sweet Roll Filling

3/4 c peanut butter creamy
3/4 c jam
Icing
1 c powdered sugar
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour and yeast. Set aside. In a saucepan, heat the milk, ⅓ cup butter, sugar, and salt until 120 degrees F. Remove from heat and stir until the butter is melted.
Add melted butter mixture to the flour and yeast mixture. Mix on low, using a regular paddle, adding the eggs one at a time. Change the mixer attachment to the dough hook. Beat the dough at low, adding the remaining flour a little at a time.
Increase speed to medium until a soft dough forms, approximately 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides. Cover with a clean dish towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 ½ hours.
Punch the dough down and turn out onto a floured surface. Cover and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Roll the dough into a rectangle, approximately 20 inches by 10 inches.
Spread an even layer of peanut butter over the dough and then repeat with a layer of jam, leaving a 1-inch space on one long edge without filling. Starting on the long side, roll the dough up, working it tightly but without pulling the dough too much. You should have a roll now.
Seal the long edge by pinching it shut. Cut the dough into 12 even slices by cutting the dough in half, cutting those halves in half and then the quarters into three slices each.
Place each roll in a 9x13 or larger pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, allowing about one inch between them. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place about 40 minutes or until doubled.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. While the rolls bake, combine the ingredients for the icing, stirring until well blended. Remove rolls from the oven and spread with icing.
