Smoked Blueberry Baklava Cinnamon Rolls

After several years of having scratch made cinnamon rolls on my list of things to cook, I can finally scratch this off. The rolls were prepared using King Arthur Flour's soft cinnamon roll recipe, with my own style thrown into the mix. The tangzhong was made differently than what's called for in the recipe, as coconut milk and heavy cream were used in lieu of milk and water. Additionally, it was infused with passion fruit nectar.
Some of the tangzhong was added to the remaining dough ingredients, which was kneaded until smooth, then proofed for 16 hours in the fridge. The dough was allowed to warm up for an hour before dividing it in half and then rolling it out. This stuff smelled too good.
The rolled out dough portions were topped with cherry wood smoked blueberry butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and finely ground baklava (leftover from a previous cook).
After the rolls were cut, they were proofed for an hour while the oven got up to temp at 350F.
Coconut icing was made while the rolls were cooking using powdered coconut milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter and heavy cream.
The rolls took about 35 minutes to cook (188F final temp).
I was pretty happy with the crumb, as it just pulled apart in sheets.
Served up a couple of the small ones for a quick snack.
Soft. Tender. Sweet. Cinnamony. Coconutty. Passion Fruity. The baklava filling was killer and the essence of smoked blueberry just crept up and then lingered a bit before the coconut flavors took over. I think this wasn't half bad for a first attempt.

Wow. Threads like this are why I love this place. A little bit of everything. I would make myself so sick with a pan of those sitting in front of my face.

Incredible, as always. Had you considered baking them on the Egg?
If you’re finding yourself wanting to make cinnamon rolls again, just in case you want to switch it up, I will mention that Kenji’s recipe is knockout good, IMO.https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.eater.com/platform/amp/2015/10/10/9482367/best-sticky-bun-recipe-kenji-food-labI may have started a thread where I made them a year or so ago. -

@smokingal It looks like the dough is laying on a black trash bag. Is that for contrast in the photos or is that a genius way of containing flour and mess in the kitchen? Or am I completely mistaken all the way around?Coleman, Texas

I did but my Egg is currently dismantled in order to replace a bunch of parts. Didn't feel like putting it back together midweek. Honestly don't feel like doing it this weekend either, lol.SciAggie said:@smokingal It looks like the dough is laying on a black trash bag.

It's a clear bread bag sliced open for use in rolling out the dough (and eliminating mess) on top of a black marble topped kitchen island.It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".
