The Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever by

Ingredients

For the dough:

¾ cup cold milk

2 ¼ teaspoons active yeast 

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

3 cups bread flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

2/3 cup dark brown sugar

1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

For the cream cheese frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Add dry ingredients, flour,  yeast,  sugar,  salt,  to the bowl.  Make a well.

2. Add melted butter, eggs and milk.  Stir the ingredients. 

3. Place dough hook on mixer and knead dough on medium speed for 8 minutes. Dough should form into a nice ball and be

slightly sticky. (If you don’t want to use an electric mixer, you can use your hands to knead the dough for 8-10 minutes on a

well-floured surface.)

4. Transfer dough ball to a well oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour to 1 ½

hours, or until doubled in size.

5. After dough has doubled in size, transfer dough to a well-floured surface and roll out into a 14x9 inch rectangle. Spread

softened butter over dough, leaving a ¼ inch margin at the far side of the dough.

6. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Use your hands to sprinkle mixture over the buttered dough, then

gently rub in into the butter a little. Tightly roll dough up, starting from the 9 inch side and place seam side down making

sure to seal the edges of the dough as best you can. Cut into 1 inch sections with a serrated knife or floss. You should get

9 large pieces.

7. Place cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x9 inch baking pan or round 9 inch cake pan. (I also recommend lining the pan with

parchment paper as well, in case any of the filling ends up leaking out.) Cover with plastic wrap and a warm towel and let

rise again for 30 minutes.

8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and towel and bake cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until just

slightly golden brown on the edges. You want to underbake them a little so they stay soft in the middle, that’s why we want

them just slightly golden brown. Allow them to cool for a 5 minutes before frosting. Makes 9 cinnamon rolls.

9. To make the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

Beat until smooth and fluffy. Spread over cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
