Description

Soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture and topped with creamy icing, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 23 tbsp milk (for frosting consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Mix well, then gradually add flour. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll out dough into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches). Spread softened butter over the dough.
  5. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.
  6. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and cut into 12 rolls.
  7. Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. While rolls bake, make frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  10. Spread frosting over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare the rolls the night before and bake the next morning.
  • For extra gooey rolls, pour a little cream over them before baking.
  • Adjust sugar in the frosting to desired sweetness.
