Equipment
- electric mixer or wooden spoon
- Rolling Pin
- baking sheet with parchment paper
- Spoons
Ingredients
- 5 cups all-purpose flour/Bread flour
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 5 tbsp milk
- 4 tsp ground cinnamon (cinnamon powder)
- 1 cup soft brown sugar
- 5 ounce cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cup powdered Sugar
- 1 cup pure vanilla extract
- 2/4 cup buttermilk or whole milk
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, egg, milk, and yeast until fully combined. Then, add in the butter and knead the dough until it is soft and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and set aside for about 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the soft brown sugar, cinnamon powder, cream cheese, and butter over the top.
- Starting from one end of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a cylinder shape. Cut the cylinder into 20 even slices and arrange them in a greased baking pan. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, mix together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and salt to make the glaze. When the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter and pour the glaze over them.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use room-temperature butter for the best results. Cold butter won't spread evenly and will leave lumps in the dough.
- Don't skip proofing the dough! This helps to make a light and fluffy cinnamon roll.
- You can also add some chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for an added crunch.
- If you don't want to use cream cheese in the filling, you can substitute it with an equal amount of butter.
- Make sure to let the cinnamon rolls cool down completely before adding the glaze. This will help to prevent the glaze from melting off.
- You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less sugar. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
