Description
A simple and rewarding recipe for soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls with a heavenly filling and rich cream cheese icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1 cup of warm milk
- 1/2 cup of melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- Softened butter for spreading
- 4 oz of softened cream cheese
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by mixing warm milk and sugar, then adding yeast and letting it froth.
- Combine flour and salt in a large bowl, then add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to form a soft dough.
- Make the cinnamon filling by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- Assemble the rolls by rolling out the dough, spreading softened butter, and sprinkling the cinnamon filling before rolling it up and cutting into pieces.
- Let the rolls rise again for 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over warm rolls.
Notes
- Ensure your yeast is fresh for proper rising.
- Use warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C) to activate the yeast.
- Avoid over-kneading the dough to keep rolls soft.
- Do not skip the second rise for fluffy rolls.
- Consider adding fruits or nuts for variations.
