👩‍🍳 How to Make Them:
1. Make the Dough
-
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
-
Stir in sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt.
-
Gradually add flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead by hand or with a mixer for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
-
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Roll & Fill
-
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 16×12 inches.
-
Spread softened butter evenly over the dough.
-
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter.
3. Roll Up & Cut
-
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log.
-
Slice into 12 even rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffy.
4. Bake
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Frost
-
Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little milk until smooth.
-
Spread the frosting over warm cinnamon rolls and let it melt into every swirl.
🌟 Tips for Cinnamon Roll Success:
-
Don’t skip the second rise—it gives the rolls their signature fluffiness.
-
If prepping ahead, refrigerate unbaked rolls overnight and let rise in the morning before baking.
-
For extra gooeyness, pour a little heavy cream over the rolls before baking.
