Recipe

Servings: 12 rolls

Calories: 185 per roll

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Easy No-Egg Sweet Cream Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (room temp)

• 1/4 cup lukewarm water (around 100°F)

• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)

• 3 tbsp sugar

• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for brushing)

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra as needed)

Instructions:

1. Activate the yeast (optional)

   Combine the lukewarm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. (Skip this step if you're confident in your instant yeast.)

2. Mix the dough

   Stir in the heavy cream, remaining sugar, melted butter, and salt. Add flour gradually, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

3. Knead

   Knead the dough for 5–8 minutes by hand or using a dough hook until smooth and elastic. Add a touch more flour if needed to reduce sticking.

4. Quick rise

   Transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

5. Shape the rolls

   Punch down the dough. Divide into 12 equal portions and roll into smooth balls. Place in a greased 9x13-inch Pyrex baking dish.

6. Final proof (optional but improves texture)

   Let rolls rest for another 10–15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

7. Bake

   Bake the rolls for 18–22 minutes until golden brown on top. Immediately brush with melted butter for a soft, glossy finish.

Prompt

Here's how I prompted the "🥖 Easy No-Egg Sweet Cream Rolls (Baked in Pyrex)" recipe:

This one was straightforward. I had some whipping cream I needed to use and decided to make bread, so I asked:

I have about a cup of heavy whipping cream. Can I use them to make Hawaiian sweet roles? No egg if possible, also, quick recipe, in pyrex?
