Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/3 cup whole milk (320g)
- 4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 5 cups all-purpose flour (650g)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (113g)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (200g)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (120g), room temperature
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature (113g)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (56g)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (60g)
- 1 cup icing sugar (100g)
Instructions
- Warm the whole milk in a saucepan until lukewarm. Stir in the yeast and granulated sugar, letting it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl, make a well, and add the yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1-2 hours).
- Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the filling until smooth.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and spread the filling evenly over it. Roll tightly from one long side to the other and slice into rolls.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Beat together the cream cheese, room temperature butter, heavy cream, and icing sugar until smooth for the icing.
Notes
Make sure your milk is lukewarm to activate the yeast properly. Knead the dough well for a soft texture.
