Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls
Description
Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls begin with activating yeast in lukewarm milk, then combining it into a dough with butter, sugar, eggs, salt, and flour. After a first rise, the dough is rolled out into a large rectangle, spread with softened butter and cinnamon-brown sugar mixture, then rolled up tightly and sliced. The rolls undergo a second rise in a greased pan before baking until golden brown. While baking, a frosting of butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and a pinch of salt is prepared to top the warm rolls.
The rolls have a soft, tender crumb that contrasts with the sweet and spiced center, enhanced by the creamy icing. They are ideal for breakfast or a sweet snack and benefit from being served warm to enjoy the gooey texture fully.
The recipe adapts from Jo Cooks and includes detailed steps ensuring a well-risen dough and flavorful filling, with icing adding a smooth finish once baked.
Ingredients
- DOUGH
- 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk lukewarm
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter unsalted, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg
- 4 cups flour
- filling
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup butter unsalted, softened
- Icing
- 6 tablespoon butter unsalted, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt pinch
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in the luckwarm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- In the bowl of your mixer, add the sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour mixing until incorporated.
- Pour the yeast/milk mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix until incorporated.
- Place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover. Allow to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough out until it is 16 inches by 13 inches. It should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the butter evenly over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top.
- Carefully roll the dough up and cut into 1 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Place slices into greased baking pan and cover with a towel for another 30 minutes to rise.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place pan into oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, combine the icing ingredients. Once rolls are removed from oven, spread icing generously over each roll and serve!
Notes
- Use lukewarm milk to activate the yeast properly for good dough rise.
- Ensure the dough doubles in size after first and second rise for soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls.
- Roll dough tightly to contain the filling evenly and prevent gaps.
- Bake until golden brown to achieve a tender crumb and slightly crisp edges.
- Apply icing while rolls are warm so it melts slightly, enhancing creaminess.
