Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (heated to 110°F)
- 2 + 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 Tbsp softened butter (for filling)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 4 Tbsp softened butter (for frosting)
- 4 oz cream cheese (for frosting)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, yeast, egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt until combined. Stir in flour until a non-sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough for approximately three minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for one hour.
- Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly over it. Roll tightly and cut into eight equal pieces.
- Place rolls in a greased baking pan and allow to rise again for thirty minutes before brushing with melted butter. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- For frosting: Beat softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
