The Perfect Cinnamon Rolls ⏲🎞
*Cut your cinnamon rolls into 2 inch sections to make a batch of 6 or 1 inch/ 1 1/2 inch sections to make about 8-12 cinnamon rolls
Recipe:
Dough -
Yeast mixture:
3/4 cup lukewarm water
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk, whisked
3 cups AP flour
1 tsp kosher salt
4 tbsp melted butter, unsalted
Filling:
1/3 cup unsalted butter, room temp
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
dash of nutmeg
Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, room temp
3 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
coffee creamer ( I used French vanilla, but u can use any flavor you love!) add a tsp at a time until you’re happy with the consistency
Instructions:
In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine your yeast mixture & rest for 10 min. Then in a separate bowl add in the rest of your dough ingredients, adding the yeast mixture in last
mix your dough together with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms
Add to a lightly floured surface & knead for about 8-10 minutes until your dough is nice & smooth.
Once your dough is smooth, add to an lightly floured bowl - cover with a damp cloth and rest for 1 1/2- 2 hours hour in a warm place. (Or until doubled in size)
While your dough is resting prepare your filling & your frosting so you don’t have to worry about it later
once your dough is doubled in size, punch down gently & add to a floured surface. Roll it out & spread on your filling. roll it up as tight as possible without stretching or ripping your dough
Cut your cinnamon rolls with floss (gives a very clean cut compared to a knife) and add them to a prepared baking dish. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for another 30 minutes
30 minutes later, add a tbsp of heavy cream on top of each roll, pop in the oven at 350°f for 25- 30 minutes
Top your cinnamon rolls of with your frosting & you’re done:)
