  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 packet (1/4 oz) instant yeast
– 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Making Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls is simpler than you might think! Follow these steps for success:

1. Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle yeast over the top. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and salt. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it to the bowl and mix well.
3. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface until elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon for the filling.
6. Roll Out Dough: After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Spread Filling: Evenly spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
8. Roll It Up: Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log, ensuring it’s tight. Pinch the edges to seal.
9. Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
10. Second Rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Prepare Icing: While baking, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
13. Drizzle Icing: Once baked, allow the rolls to cool slightly before drizzling the cream cheese icing over the top.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying perfect Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls, bursting with flavor and warmth.
