Ingredients
No main ingredients listed.
Dough
- 1 3/10 lb all-purpose flour
- 0.42 oz instant dry yeast
- 2 3/10 oz white sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 oz softened butter
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 3 1/2 oz softened butter
- 5 3/10 oz dark brown sugar
- 1 1/10 oz cinnamon powder
Before Baking
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 3 9/10 oz cream cheese
- 2 1/2 oz butter
- 6 3/10 oz powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- milk, as needed
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant dry yeast, white sugar, salt, softened butter (not melted), egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 2Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer on medium speed until smooth, slightly tacky but not sticky, about 8–10 minutes. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- 3Lightly grease a clean bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a damp cloth, and let it proof in a warm, turned‑off oven until doubled in size, roughly 30–40 minutes.
- 4While the dough rises, prepare the filling: combine the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon powder in a bowl until well blended.
- 5Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
- 6Spread the cinnamon‑brown‑sugar filling evenly over the rolled‑out dough.
- 7Cut the dough into equal strips, then roll each strip tightly into a spiral. Arrange the rolls in a parchment‑lined baking pan, leaving a little space between them.
- 8Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let the rolls proof again in a warm place until puffy, about 25–30 minutes.
- 9Preheat the oven to 350°F (356°F). Once preheated, pour the ½ cup (180 mL) heavy cream evenly over and around the rolls.
- 10Bake the rolls on the middle rack for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cream has set.
- 11While the rolls are baking, make the frosting: beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk, a teaspoon at a time, until spreadable.
- 12When the rolls are out of the oven, allow them to cool for 5 minutes, then spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls. Serve warm.
