DELICIOUS quick and easy cinnamon rolls

These come together so quick with a few ingredients. The only hard thing is waiting for them to rise!

Ingredients

For the dough:

¾ cup (180g) warm milk (whole milk or 2% preferred) (110 degrees F)

2 ¼ teaspoons quick rise or active yeast (1/4-ounce package yeast)*

¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature

¼ cup (57g) butter, melted (I prefer salted, but unsalted works, too)

3 cups (360g) bread flour, plus more for dusting

¾ teaspoon salt

For the filling:

â…” cup (142g) dark brown sugar (light brown sugar also works)

1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup (57g) butter, softened

For the cream cheese frosting:

4 oz (112g) cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons butter, softened

¾ cup (85g) powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

STEP1

Warm milk to around 110 degrees F. Place milk in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving it for 40-45 seconds. Transfer warm milk to the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. Add in sugar, egg, egg yolk and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Next stir in flour and salt with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

STEP 2

Place dough hook on stand mixer and knead dough on medium speed for 8 minutes. Dough should form into a nice ball and be slightly sticky. If it's TOO sticky (meaning it's sticking to the bottom of the mixer, add in 2 tablespoons more bread flour.) 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.

STEP 3

Transfer dough ball to a well-oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise for 1 hour to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size. This may more or less time depending the humidity and temperature in your home.

STEP 4

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.

Tightly roll dough up, starting from the 9-inch side seam side down make sure to seal the edges of the dough as best you can! Cut off about an inch off the ends of the dough ends. Next, cut into 1 inch sections with a serrated knife. You should get 12 large pieces.
