Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 6 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 packets active dry yeast 1/4 ounce packets
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water room temperature
- 2 large eggs
For the Filling
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/8 tsp salt
For Butterscotch Topping
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 tbsp salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
For the Dough
- Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of butter with milk.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 2 1/2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add water, eggs and butter mixture. Using the flat beater attachment, mix until well combined. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time while mixing until the dough starts to form a ball.
- Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead dough on low speed for 5 minutes.
- Remove dough from the bowl, sprinkle some flour in the bowl and return the dough to the bowl. Let the dough rise for 10 minutes in a warm place.
For the Filling
- In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter together. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough to form a long rectangle, about 3' x 2'. Spread the filling across the whole surface of the dough.
- Start at the short end of the dough and roll it up like a jelly roll. Make a cut in the center of the roll, then cut about 6" from the center on each side to form two giant rolls.
- Place the rolls swirled edge down on the prepared pan.
- Drizzle the rolls with melted butter. Allow to rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375. Bake rolls for 20 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes.
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add cream cheese and butter. Combine and heat until melted, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the confectioner's sugar. Add vanilla, cream and salt. Stir, then set aside.
For the Butterscotch Topping
- In a separate medium saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, butter and cream. Bring to a boil and boil 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Add salt and vanilla. Set aside.
To Serve:
- Place each giant roll on a large plate. Drizzle cream cheese frosting over the swirl moving in one direction. Then drizzle the butterscotch topping over the swirl moving the other direction.
Notes
- You will have two leftover sections of dough on either end of the roll. These don't need to be wasted! Slice the dough into smaller cinnamon rolls and bake in a glass baking pan for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
