Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1¼ cups whole milk, warmed
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp granulated white sugar (for blooming the yeast)
- 4¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp salt
- 2 whisked eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup softened butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for dough)
- 4 crushed Oreos, chopped
For the Filling
- Butter, softened (for spreading)
- Crushed Oreos, to taste
For the Cream Pour & Topping
- Heavy whipping cream, infused with Oreos
- Frosting, to drizzle
- Extra crushed Oreos, for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast
- Pour warm milk into a bowl.
- Add active dry yeast and 1 tsp sugar to help it bloom. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Make the Dough
- In a stand mixer, combine flour and salt.
- Add whisked eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour in the yeast mixture.
- Mix until the dough comes together, soft and slightly sticky.
3. Add the Oreos
- Chop Oreos on a cutting board and add them to the dough.
- Continue mixing until everything is well incorporated and the dough looks speckled and chocolatey.
4. Let It Rise
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
5. Roll and Fill
- Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface.
- Spread a layer of softened butter across the dough.
- Sprinkle with crushed Oreos for that signature cookies-and-cream filling.
6. Shape the Rolls
- Cut the dough into strips and roll each one tightly.
- Place the rolls into a buttered baking dish, leaving a little space between each.
7. Add the Cream
- Pour Oreo-infused heavy whipping cream over the rolls — this keeps them moist and rich while baking.
8. Bake
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
9. Frost and Finish
- Let the rolls cool slightly.
- Top with frosting and a generous sprinkle of crushed Oreos.
Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions
- Infuse your cream: Blend Oreos into heavy cream and strain before pouring for deeper flavor.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dough the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
- Get extra gooey: Drizzle warm rolls with sweetened condensed milk before frosting.
- Presentation tip: Serve in a cast-iron pan for that bakery-style wow factor.
