Ingredients and substitutes
- The star of the show is, of course, Biscoff Lotus spread. Known for its smooth and creamy texture, this indulgent spread is made from caramelized Biscoff cookies.
- First, make sure to have all-purpose flour on hand. This will serve as the foundation for your dough, providing the necessary structure and texture. Along with flour, you will need granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast to give your rolls that perfect rise and fluffy consistency.
- As for the wet ingredients, you will need milk, unsalted butter, and eggs. These will impart a rich and tender crumb to your rolls, ensuring they melt in your mouth with each delicious bite. And let’s remember the vanilla extract, which adds a subtle hint of warmth and sweetness to the overall flavor profile.
- For those with dietary restrictions, you can easily adapt this recipe to suit your needs. Also, if you prefer a gluten-free version, consider using a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour. And if you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute almond milk or coconut milk for the regular milk and use dairy-free butter instead of the traditional butter.
Step-by-step: Lotus spread rolls
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer.
- Next, whisk warm milk, melted butter, eggs, yeast, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
- Then, slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms.
- Next, knead the dough on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes. Or, transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl and leave to rise in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in volume.
- Once doubled, punch down the dough and shape it into a ball. Roll the dough into a long rectangle about 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
- Now comes the fun part – spreading the Biscoff goodness! Take the softened Biscoff spread and evenly spread it over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies on top, covering the entire surface.
- Be sure to cover every inch of the dough, as this will create those irresistible layers of flavor.
- Next, it’s time to roll the dough into a log. Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough, keeping the Lotus Spread intact within each layer. Once you reach the end, gently pinch the seam to seal the roll. Cut the log into individual rolls about an inch or so thick with a sharp knife or a serrated edge.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each to allow for rising. Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for about an hour until they double in size.
- Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature and carefully place the dish inside.
- Allow the rolls to bake until they’re beautifully golden on top, and the aroma fills your kitchen, creating an irresistible temptation. The Lotus Spread will caramelize slightly, creating a heavenly combination of flavors that will leave you craving more. The Lotus Spread rolls will be perfectly puffed and golden, oozing with gooey goodness.
- Leave the rolls to cool on a wire rack until barely warm. Then, spread a generous amount of lotus on top of the rolls and sprinkle more crushed lotus cookies that will stick to the spread.
- These rolls are at their best when enjoyed fresh and warm. But they will keep for a few days at room temperature. And you can even keep them in the freezer for a few months.

Notes
- First and foremost, ensuring that all your ingredients are at room temperature is essential. This will allow for better incorporation and a smoother, more cohesive dough.
- Another tip to consider is the proper technique for rolling out your dough. Be sure to lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, making it easier to spread the Biscoff Lotus evenly.
- Speaking of the Biscoff Lotus spread, it’s crucial to evenly distribute it over the rolled-out dough. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, gently spread a generous layer of the spread, making sure to reach all the edges. This will ensure that every bite of your lotus spread rolls is filled with that heavenly Biscoff flavor.
- Once you’ve spread the Biscoff Lotus spread, it’s time to tightly roll the dough into a log shape. A tight roll will prevent filling from oozing during baking, resulting in beautifully swirled rolls. Take your time and roll the dough as tightly as possible without squishing it, creating a uniform and aesthetically pleasing final product.
- Lastly, when baking your Biscoff Lotus Rolls, paying attention to the oven temperature is essential. Preheat your oven according to the recipe instructions and set a timer to avoid over- or under-baking. The perfect Biscoff Lotus Rolls should be golden brown on the outside with a soft, gooey center.
