Description
Delicious and fluffy jumbo cinnamon rolls that are perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs. Add the frothy yeast mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 16×24 inches).
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract evenly on top.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk until smooth.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing over the top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling before rolling.
- You can also substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
