Grapefruit-Pistachio Cinnamon Rolls
- 1 (1/4-ounce) pkg. active dry yeast
- 2/3 cup grapefruit juice, heated (100u0b0 to 110u0b0)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2/3 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice, divided
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- To make the dough, combine the yeast and grapefruit juice in a large mixing bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add sugar, butter, salt, and egg to bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add bread flour, beating until smooth. Add all-purpose flour, mixing until a smooth, soft dough forms (add another 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour if the dough is too wet to touch without it sticking to your hand).
- Transfer dough to a large, well-greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until it's doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Combine brown sugar, pistachios, ginger, cardamon, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor; pulse until pistachios are coarsely chopped and all ingredients are well combined. Melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
- Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 9- x 15-inch rectangle. Brush the surface of the dough evenly with the 6 tablespoons melted butter; sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar mixture, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
- Starting at 1 (15-inch) side, gently roll the dough into a cylinder; cut into 12 even slices. Place the slices in a greased 9-inch round pan or cast-iron skillet. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Uncover dough and bake at 350u0b0 for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes.
- To prepare the glaze, place cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Combine 1/2 cup juice and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, swirling occasionally; reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Pour grapefruit mixture over cream cheese; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar. Beat in remaining 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice. Pour glaze over warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
