Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoons Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter melts. Let the mixture cool to about 110°F before adding to the dry ingredients.
Add the cooled milk-butter mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12x12-inch square on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish, leaving some space between each piece to allow for expansion.
Cover the rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your mini cream cheese rolls warm or at room temperature!
