Pistachio Cardamom Rolls

Pillowy soft, gooey-in-the-middle, smothered in pistachio cream cheese frosting with a few crunchy pistachios on top, you can never get enough of them. The dough is a simple yeast dough made with flour, sugar, milk and yeast. To give it a bit more flavour, I used homemade vanilla sugar to the dough. The milk should be warm, but must not exceed 38C/100F degrees, or it will kill the yeast and your dough won't rise. Enjoy these pistachio buns straight from the oven while they are still light, fluffy and wonderfully moist. Pack them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them individually and defrost them when you need some sweet treat.

 
DoughPistachio Filling & Topping
  • 280 ml Milk
  • 75 g Butter, softened
  • 7 g Dry yeast
  • 500 g Plain flour
  • 30 g Sugar or vanilla sugar
  • 1 tsp Cardamom powder
  1. Place the milk in a saucepan and warm up over low heat. Remove and melt 75 g of butter in it. Dissolve the yeast in the milk-butter mixture. Mix the flour with the sugar and cardamom in the bowl of your mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the yeast mixture and knead everything into a smooth dough, about 10 minutes. Cover and leave to rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in volumn.
  2. Meanwhile prepare the filling. Melt 50 g of butter in a saucepan over low heat, add 200 g of pistachio cream and heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fully combined. Leave to cool slightly. Chop the pistachios.
  3. Grease or line a square 28cm baking dish. Knead the dough again and roll it out into a roughly 50cmx35cm rectangle. Spread with the prepared pistachio cream and sprinkle with half the chopped pistachios. Roll up the dough from the long side into a tight log, then cut it into 12 even slices. Place the rolls in the baking dish, leaving a little space between them. Cover and leave to rise for 45 minutes until puffy.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Bake the rolls until they are golden brown, 28-30 minutes. Remove the buns from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  5. For the topping, beat 75 g of butter with the icing sugar until creamy using a hand mixer, then beat in 100 g of pistachio cream and cream cheese on the lowest setting. Spread the frosting evenly over the slightly warm rolls and sprinkle with the remaining pistachios.

    Looks delicious. Pistachio cream is very expensive here. I'm going to buy some in Italy next time we are there.

    That is so lush and decadent, bet it was fun to make. We are having a cold and very rainy day so it would be lovely baking something, but, alas, I have to work. I tried new Fa pistachio und honey wash gel and did not really like it.

    These pistachio cardamom rolls look absolutely dreamy, so pillowy, glossy, and just unapologetically lush. I love how the pistachio shows up in every layer, from the filling to that creamy frosting, and the cardamom gives it that warm, fragrant little lift that makes the whole thing feel extra special.

    Thanks for the recipes, yes Pistachio has become very popular and everything I buy from ice cream onwards is very expensive, because it's Pistachio :)) Wishing you a nice Friday, hug, Andreja!

    These pistachio cardamom rolls look like proper comfort baking done right. The mix of warm spice with the pistachio cream feels rich without being too heavy, especially with that cream cheese topping melting slightly into the buns. The detail about keeping the milk at the right temperature is the kind of thing that makes all the difference, easy to overlook but it changes everything.

    How beautiful! I love pistachios so I always have them on hand, and I recently made some Indian food so I bought some cardamom. It looks as though I’m all set.

    oh my Angie, I know I have written it on your blog before but, I love cardamom. Pistachio that's icing on top literally, and figuratively (laugh).

    These looks quite tasty. I felt like baking some brownies today, but it's so humid I didn't want to put the oven on. Too bad you can't zip one of these through the internet and have it pop out of my computer to have instead. :) Happy weekend.
