Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup whole milk heated to around 110 °F
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour depending on the brand of flour you may need more or less
- 3 large eggs
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/8 tsp salt
Filling
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Icing
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, whisk together the warm milk (about 110°F), yeast, sugar, and 1 cup of flour. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set it aside in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, whisk in the eggs, salt and melted butter to the dough mixture. Then, gradually add the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour until the dough is soft but not runny (depending on the brand of flour, you may need more or less). Attach a dough hook attachment and knead on low speed.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and knead the dough until it becomes elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl (about 10-15 minutes).
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about an hour in a warm place.
- For the filling, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the butter in a separate bowl.
- Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the dough into a rectangle.
- Brush the dough with the melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over it. Starting with the long side, roll the dough tightly into a spiral.
- Flour a serrated knife and cut the dough into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls onto a buttered 14 inch round baking pan, then cover and let them rest for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F. Once the rolls have doubled in size, bake them for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the icing, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, spread the icing over them and serve warm. Enjoy!
