Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 4 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 packet yeast
For the filling:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
For the icing:
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter. Add in the flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once risen, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 16×21 inch rectangle.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter.
- Roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the long sides.
- Cut the log into 12 rolls and place them in a lightly greased baking pan.
- Cover and let them rise until they've nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to make the icing.
- Once the rolls are finished baking, spread the icing on while they are still warm.
Notes
Make sure to let the dough rise fully during both stages to ensure soft, fluffy rolls. Also, spread the icing while the rolls are still warm to get the perfect melt-in-your-mouth experience.
The fragrance and flavor of these Heavenly Homemade Cinnamon Rolls are incomparable. The warm cinnamon filling coupled with the creamy, sweet icing creates a pastry that is sure to become a beloved breakfast tradition. Remember, nothing says “good morning” quite like a freshly baked cinnamon roll!
