Hey guys! Today we're making cinnamon rolls. They're so cinnamony, very delicous and also a perfect treat for anytime of the day. So let's get cooking!
You’ll need:
For the dough:
- 500g flour
- 60g sugar
- 15g instant yeast
- 50g butter
- 100ml milk
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 120g brown sugar
- 80g butter (at room temperature)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
For the cream cheese topping: (optional)
- 110g cream cheese
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
- 45ml milk
Let’s start:
Step 1: Make the dough:
- Warm the milk, melt the butter and mix them together.
- In a small ball, crack the eggs, add a bit of the previous mix and whisk to combine.
- In a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, put the flour, sugar, yeast and salt together. Turn it on a medium speed and gradually pour the milk and butter while mixing. Then, pour the eggs the same way.
- Keep mixing until the dough isn’t sticky anymore and forms a loose ball.
- Cover the ball with plastic wrap and keep it in a warm place to rise for at least 2 hours or until it doubles the volume.
Step 2: Prepare the filling:
- In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar and cinnamon until it reaches a spreadable consistency (you can mix it using a spatula or a hand mixer).
Step 3: Assembling:
- Now that your dough has risen, roll it out, on lightly floured surface, into a 30x40cm rectangle.
- Spread the cinnamon on the whole surface.
- Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 3cm sections and set them in a baking try lined with parchment paper (keep them parted a bit).
- Cover the try with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and put it in a warm place to let the dough rise again, for at least 30min.
Step 4: The Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C while waiting for the rolls to rise.
- Bake them for about 20min or until golden brown.
Step 5: Serving:
- While the rolls are baking, mix the cream cheese, sugar and milk together until it’s well-combined with a runny constancy.
- Let the rolls cool a little bit, then drizzle some of the cream cheese on the top and serve them immediately.
Thank you for stopping by and I really hope you'll give this recipe a try!
