About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- heavy cream
Dough
- 0.76 cup warm milk
- 2 oz melted butter
- 1 4/5 oz sugar
- 1/4 oz dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 13 oz plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cinnamon Filling
- 3 1/2 oz softened butter
- 1 1/10 oz sugar
- 1 1/10 oz brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 1/10 oz softened butter
- 4 1/10 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 3/5 oz icing sugar
Instructions
- 1Mix the warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast together in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- 2Add the melted butter, whole egg, and egg yolk to the mixture and stir until fully combined.
- 3Stir in the plain flour and salt. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and soft, about 5–7 minutes.
- 4Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 5While the dough rises, prepare the cinnamon filling: combine softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl; mix until a uniform paste forms.
- 6After the first rise, punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle roughly 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in).
- 7Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled‑out dough.
- 8Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish.
- 9Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let them proof for an additional 30 minutes, until slightly puffed.
- 10Preheat the oven to 347°F (350°F). Pour the heavy cream evenly over the risen rolls.
- 11Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cream has set.
- 12While the rolls are still warm, prepare the cream cheese frosting: beat softened butter and softened cream cheese together until fluffy, then add vanilla extract and icing sugar; continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
- 13Spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls, allowing it to melt slightly into the surface.
- 14Serve the rolls warm. Enjoy!
