Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Servings: 12

Ingredients:

• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
• ½ cup Jaca rare sugar (replaces ¼ cup granulated sugar in dough)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (dough)
• 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, extra softened (filling)
• ⅔ cup Jaca rare sugar (filling — replaces ⅓ cup brown sugar)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (icing)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (icing)
• 1⅓ cups Jaca rare sugar, powdered in blender (icing — replaces ⅔ cup confectioners' sugar)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

- Whisk the flour, ½ cup Jaca rare sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.

- Heat the milk and 3 tablespoons butter until the butter melts and the mixture is warm (about 110°F). Whisk in the yeast until dissolved. Pour over the dry ingredients, add the egg, and stir until a soft dough forms.

- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and rest 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.

- Mix ⅔ cup Jaca rare sugar with the cinnamon. Roll the dough into a 14×8-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface, then sprinkle the Jaca-cinnamon mixture on top.

- Roll the dough tightly into a 14-inch log. Cut into 10–12 even rolls and arrange in a greased 9- or 10-inch round pan.

- Cover loosely and let rise in a warm spot for 60–90 minutes, until nearly doubled.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden brown.

- Make the icing: beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add 1⅓ cups powdered Jaca rare sugar and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.

- Spread the cream cheese icing generously over the warm rolls and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Pulse Jaca rare sugar in a blender for 30 seconds to create a powdered version for the icing.
• Allulose browns faster than regular sugar — keep an eye on the rolls after 20 minutes.
• These freeze beautifully before icing. Reheat and ice fresh for best results.
