Dough Preparation
- Warm 1 cup of milk and ¼ cup of water over low heat until just warm. Combine with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 3 teaspoons of active dry yeast, ¼ teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Let sit for 15 minutes until bubbly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 ¼ cups of flour, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of maple extract, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of allspice, and 1 ¼ cups of grated carrot. Stir in the yeast mixture, kneading until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes.
Dough Rising
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area for 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
Shaping the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches). Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the filling mixture evenly on top.
Rolling and Cutting
- Roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other, cut into 1-inch thick slices, and arrange in a greased baking dish. Let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Baking the Rolls
- Brush the tops with any remaining melted butter and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Making the Icing
- Whisk mascarpone until creamy, gradually sift in powdered sugar, then add maple extract and milk until desired consistency.
Drizzling and Serving
- Allow rolls to cool slightly before drizzling with icing and serve warm.
