The
Absolute Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever
- Dough:
- 1 (0.25-ounce) packet
active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk, (105°F
to 115°F / 40°C to 45°C)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose or bread flour
-
- Filling:
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
- For Dough: In a large
mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add 1/2 cup sugar,
melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, eggs and flour; mix well. Dust
a flat surface with a small amount of flour and knead dough into
a large ball. Return to bowl and cover. Let rise for 1 hour or
until dough has doubled in size.
- Remove dough from bowl
and roll out on a lightly floured surface until dough is 21-inches
long by 16-inches wide and 1/4-inch thick.
- For Filling: In a small
separate bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread 1/3 cup
of butter evenly over surface of the dough and cover with cinnamon/brown
sugar mixture. Roll dough from the top (21-inch side) to bottom
edge. Cut rolled dough into 1 3/4-inch slices and place 6 at
a time on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 400°F
(205°C).
- Bake for about 20 minutes
or until light brown.
- For Glaze: While rolls
are baking, combine remaining butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese,
vanilla and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Drizzle
on hot rolls and serve.
Makes 12 rolls.
