To make cinnamon rolls, you will need ingredients such as flour, sugar, yeast, milk, butter, cinnamon, and cream cheese for the frosting. Here is a basic recipe to get you started:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm milk, 2 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
Add 1/3 cup of melted butter, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
-
Gradually add 4 cups of flour to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
-
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, and sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on top.
-
Roll up the dough tightly and cut it into slices.
-
Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
-
Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, let them cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top.
Enjoy your homemade cinnamon rolls!
