Time 50m

Yield 9 cinnamon rolls

Number Of Ingredients 15

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
5 ¼ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ¾ cups whole milk, warm to the touch
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, melted butter, egg, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and yeast. Mix with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a clean surface and knead for about 1 minute, until mostly smooth and the dough springs back when poked. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest while you make the filling.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until combined.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 12 x 16-inch rectangle.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Starting with a the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 9 even pieces.
  • Transfer the cinnamon rolls to the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges.
  • While the cinnamon rolls bake, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Let the cinnamon rolls cool for 10 minutes, then cover with the frosting.
  • Enjoy!
