Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 Egg
- 1 Cooking spray
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk and 4 tablespoons of butter together until the butter is melted (about 45-60 seconds). Let it cool until warm to the touch, around 110°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Gradually add the milk mixture, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until it forms a sticky dough.
Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 16x12 inches.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls bake, beat the cream cheese, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream together until smooth and fluffy.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm rolls.
Serve immediately and enjoy your rich, peanut-buttery cinnamon rolls!
