Method
 

  1. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and 3 tbsp flour in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until a paste forms (tangzhong). Cool completely.

  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Knead on medium-low speed for 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth and tacky.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for filling. Crush Oreos.
  6. Roll dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread filling over dough and top with crushed Oreos.
  7. Roll dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 even rolls using dental floss or a knife.
  8. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 pan. Cover and rise again for 30-45 minutes.
