Ingredients
For the Dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (about 7g)
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter (softened)
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
1/2 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Glaze (optional but delicious):
100g cream cheese
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed)
💡 Preparation Steps
- Activate the Yeast:
In a bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Add yeast and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy. - Make the Dough:
Add the eggs, butter, and salt. Then gradually add flour and knead until the dough becomes soft and smooth.
Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. - Roll Out the Dough:
Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle. - Add the Filling:
Spread the softened butter over the dough.
Mix cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle it evenly on top. - Shape the Rolls:
Roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut into equal rolls.
Place them in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. - Second Rise:
Cover and let the rolls rest for 30–45 minutes to rise again. - Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden. - Prepare the Glaze:
Mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
Spread over the warm Cinnamon Rolls.
