Time 2h31m

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup granulated sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
5 cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Generously butter two disposable foil pie/cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
  • Add 4 cups (500g) of all-purpose flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
  • Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95g) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
  • Press the mixture into the butter.
  • Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
  • Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8cm) thick each.
  • Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, butter, whole milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar, until smooth.
  • Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
  • Enjoy!

2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¾ cup light brown sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and melted butter. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If any warmer, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the milk mixture, stir, and let sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes until the yeast has bloomed.
  • Add 4 cups (500 g) of flour to the milk mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until nearly doubled in size.
  • Generously butter 2 9-inch (23 cm) round baking pans and set aside.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Mix well, then set aside.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and add the remaining cup of flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a clean surface. Leave a bit of flour nearby to use as needed, but try not to incorporate too much.
  • Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface or your hands. The dough should be very smooth and spring back when poked.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix the corners with a bench scraper or a spatula to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
  • Starting from one short end, roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim any uneven ends.
  • Using unflavored dental floss, cut the log into evenly pieces, about 1½ inches (8cm) thick. Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared pans, 1 in the center and about 5 around the sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 35-45 minutes, until expanded by about half of their original volume. If you're saving the cinnamon rolls for later, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for up 3 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and whisk until homogenous and runny.
  • When the cinnamon rolls are finished, let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the frosting over the cinnamon rolls, using the back of a spoon to spread if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¾ cup light brown sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed

  • Starting from one short end, roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim any uneven ends.
  • Using unflavored dental floss, cut the log into evenly pieces, about 1½ inches thick. Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared pans, 1 in the center and about 5 around the sides. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 35-45 minutes, until expanded by about half of their original volume.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and whisk until homogenous and runny.
  • When the cinnamon rolls are finished, let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the frosting over the cinnamon rolls, using the back of a spoon to spread if desired.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a digital kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This ensures accuracy and consistency in your baking.
  • Make sure your yeast is active and fresh. If you're not sure, test it by dissolving it in warm water and a pinch of sugar. If it bubbles and foams within 5-10 minutes, it's good to use.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Knead it just until it comes together and is smooth and elastic. Overworking the dough will make the rolls tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Roll out the dough to a 12x18 inch rectangle. Don't worry if it's not perfect, just try to get it as close as possible.
  • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the butter. Again, leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Starting at one of the long edges, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  • Cut the log into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes, or until they have puffed up and are almost doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them.

Conclusion:

These 40-minute cinnamon rolls are the perfect quick and easy breakfast or brunch treat. They're soft, fluffy, and bursting with cinnamon sugar flavor. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious batch of cinnamon rolls that the whole family will love.
