Kitchen Equipment Required Mixing Bowls Measuring Cups and Spoons Stand Mixer (optional) Baking Dish (9×13 inch / 23×33 cm) Rolling Pin Sharp Knife or Dental Floss Cooling Rack Cooking Time Total estimated time: 2 hours 30 minutes (including proofing time) Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe Ingredients Dough 120ml (1/2 cup) warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) 7g (1 packet) active dry yeast 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar, divided 85g (1/4 cup + 3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted 5g (1 tsp) salt 2 large eggs 450g (3 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour Filling 200g (1 cup) packed light brown sugar 16g (1 tbsp + 2 tsp) ground cinnamon 85g (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened Cream Cheese Frosting 113g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened 56g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened 240g (2 cups) powdered sugar 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract Pinch of salt Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Dough In a small bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. In a larger mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs. Gradually add the yeast mixture, then incorporate the flour. Knead the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size. Step 2: Prepare the Filling In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 45cm x 30cm (18×12 inch) rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Step 3: Shape the Rolls Starting from the long side, gently roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss and place them in a buttered 9×13 inch (23x33cm) baking dish. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until they have doubled in size. Step 4: Bake the Rolls Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a cooling rack. Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting In a medium bowl or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable. Step 6: Frost and Serve Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls and serve immediately. Feel free to sprinkle additional cinnamon on top for an extra decorative touch. Conclusion Congratulations! You’ve just crafted a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls that are sure to impress. Each bite offers a comforting swirl of sweet cinnamon and a luxurious layer of cream cheese frosting.
