Eggless Dulce de Leche Rolls Recipe

These Eggless Dulce de Leche Rolls are rich, buttery sweet rolls filled with dulce-de-leche and chopped nuts. These are great to serve for breakfast, brunch or as a snack.

For Day 2 of this week's BM under 'Holiday Special' theme, I have a delicious 'Eggless Dulce de Leche Rolls' recipe. I love baking sweet rolls because they are  buttery, soft and absolutely delicious.

Sweet Rolls with dulce de leche filling:

This recipe is from Rachel Koo's cookbook 'The Little Paris Kitchen'. I adapted her dulce de leche sweet rolls to make it eggless. These are basically brioche rolls that are filled with dulce de leche and toasted nuts. These rolls are very similar to cinnamon rolls except for the filling.

Ingredients to make Eggless Dulce de Leche Rolls:

You can make your own dulce de leche sauce - there are quite a few recipes for homemade ones online. I used a jar that my husband bought from Argentina recently.

Traditionally brioche rolls are made with enriched dough. Which means the dough is enriched with eggs, butter and sugar. These ingredients make the bread rich with a soft crumb and sweet taste.

For this eggless version I used egg replacer (I use Bob's Red Mill brand) instead of eggs in the recipe. You can also use flaxseed meal to get the same result.The dough needs to be refrigerated overnight, so plan accordingly. The dough is very easy to work it and results in a very soft and flaky rolls. Make these for your family -- I'm sure you will get lots of praise and love from them 🙂

How to make Eggless Sweet Rolls:

Combine all the ingredients for the eggless dulce de leche rolls either my hand or in a stand mixer. Mix and knead to form a soft pliable dough. The dough needs to be refrigerated overnight, so plan accordingly. The dough is very easy to work it and results in a very soft and flaky rolls.

In the morning, roll the dough out, spread with the dulce de leche. Roll into a log and cut into equal size pieces. Set the rolls aside to rise in a baking pan. Once bake until golden.

Perfect Holiday Treat:

Make these for your family during the holidays. I'm sure you will get lots of praise and love from them 🙂

Storing Tips:

These sweet rolls stay fresh for in an airtight container for 2~3 days. Baked rolls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Warm them in a preheated oven and Enjoy!!
