Ingredients
Dough
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water 105F – 115F
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter softened
Frosting
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, stir milk, sugar, and butter together. Heat over low heat just until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to about 100-105 F.
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the yeast and warm water.
- Add 2 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for about 1 minute.
- With the mixer still going, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix about 1 ½ minutes, or until dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl.
- Knead on low speed for about 2 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic – the dough will still be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning it to grease the top. Cover the dough with a clean, dry dish towel.
- Let it rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 10 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
- Stir filling ingredients together, and spread over dough. Since the filling is a little crumbly, I gently press it into the dough to help it stick.
- Roll up lengthwise, pinching seam to seal.
- Cut into 12 pieces, and place in prepared baking dish. I use a serrated knife to cut the dough.
- Cover the baking dish with the dish towel, and let the dough rise for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bake at 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting.
- Beat butter and cream cheese together until combined.
- On low, mix in powdered sugar and vanilla until well-combined.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool for 5 minutes, and then spread frosting over warm cinnamon rolls.
Notes
- Milk: Any milk from skim milk to whole milk will work. Whole milk will give you a slightly softer, richer dough.
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
- Cream cheese: I use regular cream cheese, but reduced-fat cream cheese would also work. I don't recommend using fat-free cream cheese in this recipe.
