Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Melt the *butter* and let it cool to room temperature. Add *sugar*, *milk*, and *yeast*; stir until completely dissolved. Mix in the *egg*, then gradually add *flour* and *salt*. Knead into a smooth dough.

Cover and place in a warm spot for 40-50 minutes, until the volume doubles.

Step 2

Make the Filling

Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread the softened *butter* over it. Mix *sugar* with *cinnamon*, and sprinkle evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough into a log and cut into 9 pieces. Arrange the pieces in a baking dish.

Let them rise for 30-40 minutes. For a warm environment, you can turn off your oven and place a bowl of hot water at the bottom.

Step 3

Bake the Rolls

Preheat oven to 180°C (about 350°F). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Step 4

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

Mix all frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread on the *hot rolls* immediately after baking.

Servings

Pro Tip: Slightly warm the rolls before serving to revive the softness and enhance the flavors.

Variations

Give your cinnamon rolls a healthy twist or cater to dietary needs with these amazing variations! 🌿

Gluten-Free Option: Replace the wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring you have a fair amount of xanthan gum to mimic the elasticity of gluten. This way, you can enjoy the fluffy rolls without any gluten worries! 🥳

Vegan Delight: Swap out the butter for plant-based margarine and use almond milk instead of cow’s milk. For the egg replacement, applesauce or a flaxseed meal blend works wonders, offering similar binding qualities. 🌱

These variations not only cater to dietary needs but are equally delicious and satisfying!

Faq

  • What is the best way to proof my dough?

    Place your dough in a warm, draft-free area. You can use a pre-warmed oven (turned off) and place a bowl of warm water next to it for added moisture.

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough, let it rise once, then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just let it come back to room temperature before using it.

  • How do I prevent the filling from spilling out during baking?

    Roll the dough tightly and seal the edges well. Chilling the roll before cutting and baking can also help maintain its shape.

  • Can I use this recipe to make other kinds of rolls?

    Absolutely! This dough is versatile. Consider adding nut fillings or experimenting with different spices to create exciting new flavors.

  • How can I improve the flavor of the cinnamon filling?

    Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves for a more complex flavor profile. Adjust sugar levels to match your sweetness preferences.

  • What if my rolls turn out dry?

    Brush them with some melted butter right out of the oven, or try baking for a slightly shorter time to retain the moisture.
