------ RECIPE -------
✨Ingredients✨
Dough:
4 cups (580 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp (6 g) fine sea salt
1/3 cup (84 g) butter
1+1/2 cups (350 g) lukewarm whole milk
2+1/4 tsp (7 g ) instant yeast
Filling:
4 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/3 cup (84g) soft butter

Cream Cheese Glaze:
4 oz (115g) cream cheese
3/4 (90g) cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp (45ml) whole milk


👩‍🍳Instructions
✅In a large bowl, combine warm whole milk, sugar, salt and instant yeast until everything is dissolved
✅Add in sifted flour, mixing with spatula. Add flour gradually, begin with 3 cups then add remaining flour if needed. The dough should be sticky and soft. Do not add too much flour!
✅Transfer on to a lightly floured work surface, add in soft butter and knead until the dough is smooth
✅Pop into a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap, let rise for 60 minutes, until doubled in size.
✅Once dough is ready, mix together two sugars and cinnamon.
✅Dump dough out onto a lightly floured surface flattening it into a large rectangle, about 24x14 inches (60x35 cm), 1/4 inch thick.
✅Spread softened unsalted butter across the whole rectangle then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly across the whole dough.
✅Tightly roll from the bottom all the way to the top. Slice into 2” thick segments (12 pieces). Cut in half, then in half againб then into three more parts
✅line the bottom of the pan (9x13 baking dish), place the rolls and cover with plastic wrap once filled. Let rise at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
🔥 Heat oven to 350F (175 C) and Bake for about 28-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top. If your rolls are getting a bit too brown at the 20 minute mark then cover loosely with foil and continue to bake.
✅For the filling, beat together cream cheese then blend in powdered sugar until smooth. Whisk in whole milk until smooth then add in vanilla and whisk together.
✅Drizzle the glaze on top of the cinnamon rolls and serve.
