CINNAMON ROLLS
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
• All-purpose flour – 4 cups (500 g)
• Warm milk – 1 cup (240 ml)
• Granulated sugar – ¼ cup (50 g)
• Butter – ¼ cup (55 g), softened
• Large egg – 1
• Instant yeast – 2 teaspoons (7 g)
• Salt – ½ teaspoon
• Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
For the Filling:
• Butter – ¼ cup (55 g), softened
• Brown sugar – 1 cup (200 g)
• Ground cinnamon – 2 teaspoons
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
• Cream cheese – 4 oz (115 g), softened
• Powdered sugar – 1 cup (120 g)
• Milk – 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml)
• Vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml)
Instructions:
1. Mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until slightly foamy.
2. Add the flour, egg, softened butter, salt, and vanilla. Mix, then knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough and roll it into a large rectangle.
5. Spread the softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
6. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut into about 12 equal rolls.
7. Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
10. Spread the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
Tip: Don’t overbake the rolls. Remove them when they are just golden to keep the centers soft and fluffy.
