Dough:
3 C all-purpose flour
¼ C plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ C milk, lukewarm
3 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 ½ teaspoon instant yeast (not quite a whole packet)
Filling:
¼ C butter
1 C fine crushed graham crackers (or breadcrumbs)
½ C sugar
Crumb Roll:
½ C fine bread crumbs
INSTRUCTIONS
In a stand mixer bowl with a dough hook, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the lukewarm milk (about 110°) and melted butter and turn mixer to low. Add the beaten egg. Mix until blended. Sprinkle in the instant yeast and mix well to form a slightly sticky dough. (Add a tablespoon more of flour if too sticky).
Lightly flour your counter or marble and turn out the sticky dough onto it. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. (Or keep the dough in the stand mixer bowl, turn it to low, and knead the dough with the dough hook for 5-6 minutes.)
Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a greased bowl. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and place in a draft-free place to rise. Allow to rise for approximately 1 hour, until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a bowl, melt the butter, add breadcrumbs( crushed graham crackers) then add brown sugar. Mix well. Set aside.
After the dough is risen, Punch down the dough and divide the dough into 2 parts, with 8 pieces (16 equal pieces total). Roll or press each piece of dough into a long triangle with the wide end toward you (roll fairly thin and about 6 ½” to 7″ long, kind of the shape of a pizza slice).
With each triangle slices, spread 1 tbsp filling on the triangle, leaving about 1 cm. around the edges so it won’t melt out while baking. Roll the dough fairly loosely, starting from the wide end.
Roll the dough from side to side in the bread crumb mixture.
Place each roll seam side down onto the baking sheet about an inch apart. Cover with a tea towel and place in a draft-free area for 30-45 minutes, until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. Store in a sealed container.
