Description
Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls topped with cream cheese icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (very soft)
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the following ingredients to the bread machine pan in this order: warm milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, all-purpose flour, and instant yeast placed on top of the flour or in the dispenser if your machine has one.
- Insert the pan into the machine and secure it.
- Close the lid and select the dough program. Press start and let the machine knead and rise the dough until the cycle is complete.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a rectangle. Roll it into an 18×12 inch rectangle (46×30 cm).
- Spread the soft butter evenly over the surface. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Roll the dough tightly from the long side.
- Cut the dough into 12 even pieces, each about 1 ½ inches thick (4 cm). Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch pan (23×33 cm).
- Cover the pan and let the rolls rest for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Whisk the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Spread the icing over the warm rolls.
Notes
- For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- You can use either light or dark brown sugar for the filling based on your preference.
- Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
