Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture reaches about 110°F (43°C).
Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 15x10 inches.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting from one long end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spaced slightly apart.
Cover the dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
