How To Prep Cinnamon Rolls So You Can Wake Up To Ridiculous Goodness
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 packet of yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup maple syrup (for drizzling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
- Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add the eggs and melted butter, followed by the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll and fill: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread softened butter over the surface, sprinkle brown sugar, and generously dust cinnamon.
- Slice and shape: Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into even pieces. Arrange them in a greased baking dish.
- Second rise: Cover the dish and allow the rolls to rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Frost: Mix cream cheese, maple syrup, and powdered sugar for the frosting. Spread generously over warm rolls.
