🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 quarters cup Light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for glaze)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until it’s warm (about 110°F). Mix in 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

3. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing into a soft dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes, either by hand or with a stand mixer, until smooth and elastic.

4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

5. Prepare the filling by mixing together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

6. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

7. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal it. Slice into 12 equal pieces and arrange in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes, or until noticeably puffy.

9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before glazing.

10. To make the glaze, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and spreadable. Adjust the consistency with additional milk as needed.

11. Spread or drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy!
