Time 2h31m

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup granulated sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
5 cups flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Generously butter two disposable foil pie/cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (37-43˚C). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let set for 1 minute.
  • Add 4 cups (500g) of all-purpose flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size.
  • Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95g) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (1 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
  • Press the mixture into the butter.
  • Roll up the dough, forming a log, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down. Trim off any unevenness on either end.
  • Cut the log in half, then divide each half into 7 evenly sized pieces. About 1½ inches (8cm) thick each.
  • Place 7 cinnamon rolls in each cake pan, one in the center, six around the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • To prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, butter, whole milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar, until smooth.
  • Remove plastic wrap. Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • While still warm, drizzle evenly with frosting.
  • Enjoy!

I love that this recipe uses buttermilk. It makes the cinnamon rolls extra moist and fluffy.
