Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 Large eggs
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Packed brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Unsalted butter, softened for filling
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, softened for frosting
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt for frosting
Instructions
Warm the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is just hot and steamy but not boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup butter and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until melted and well combined. Let it cool until warm to the touch but not hot.
Pour the warm milk mixture into a large mixing bowl, sprinkle with yeast, and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add the eggs and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing with a dough hook or a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out onto a floured surface to form a 16x12 inch rectangle.
Spread the 1/3 cup of softened butter evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from the long end, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Place the rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Once the rolls are done, spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy!
