1. Heat milk to 105°F - 115°F.

2. Combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp sugar in a mixer bowl; set aside for 10 minutes until foamy.

3. Add water, oil, sugar, salt, and 3 cups flour; mix until smooth.

4. Gradually incorporate remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, and knead until well combined.

Cover and let rise until doubled.

5.Meanwhile; in a saucepan, combine sauce ingredients, boil while stirring, then remove from heat.

6.Stir in Maizena or cornstarch and vanilla; let cool.

7.Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.

8. Roll risen dough on a Mazapan-sprinkled surface into a ½-inch thick rectangle, spread sauce, and sprinkle Mazapan crumbs.

9.Roll tightly from the long edge, seal seams, and slice into 1-inch thick pieces using thread.

10. Place slices on baking sheets, cover for 20 minutes, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden or reaches 200°F internally.

Tips:

Weigh the flour to get a consistent dough; 1 cup of flour should weigh 120 grams.

Check the internal temperature of the rolls to ensure the center is cooked through. Rolls are fully cooked with the center at 200°F.

Enjoy!
