Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar for caramel sauce
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter for caramel sauce
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream for caramel sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract for caramel sauce
Instructions
Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and mix it with active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk mixture, softened butter, eggs, remaining granulated sugar, and salt. Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes, then place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 16x12 inches, and spread softened butter over the surface. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the butter.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut it into 12 equal pieces. Arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
For the cream cheese glaze, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the warm rolls.
For the caramel sauce, heat butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. When melted, stir in heavy cream and vanilla until smooth and glossy. Serve drizzled over the rolls or on the side.
For the vanilla bean icing, mix powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the rolls or serve separately for dipping.
