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!

Here's what you need: whole milk, sugar, unsalted butter, active dry yeast, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, cream cheese, unsalted butter, milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar

Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Breakfast

Time 3h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

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

½ cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup granulated sugar
1 pack active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose 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 a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the 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 (95 grams) 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 (1.5 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, spreading right to the edges.
  • Using a pizza cutter, make 3 horizontal cuts to divide the dough into 4 long, evenly-sized strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip, starting again on the right side and rolling up right to left, building on the first. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
  • Place the giant cinnamon roll in the prepared skillet or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The cinnamon roll should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
  • Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, remove from the pan and drizzle the frosting over the roll before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before you start making the dough. This will help to create flaky layers in the rolls.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the rolls tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that the rolls are light and fluffy.
  • When you are filling the rolls, be sure to leave a little space at the top so that the filling doesn't spill out.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before you serve them. This will help to prevent the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

These molten cinnamon rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. So next time you are looking for a delicious and indulgent dessert, be sure to give this recipe a try.
