Ingredients:

For the Brioche Dough:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm skim milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/4 cup sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia or Monk Fruit)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar substitute
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    • In a small bowl, combine warm skim milk and a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, eggs, and salt. Pour in the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead to Perfection:
    • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll and Fill:
    • Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface. Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle a mixture of sugar substitute and cinnamon evenly.
  5. Shape the Rolls:
    • Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice it into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Allow the rolls to rise for another 30 minutes.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  7. Glaze Elegance:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar substitute, skim milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the warm brioche rolls.
