This is probably my best recipe ever?! This beautiful golden-brown sweet dish is almost too hard to rest, with its super soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls slathered with a delicious cream cheese frosting! Worth every bite!

Ingredients:-

For the dough:-

Flour – 200 g
Milk – 180 g
Sugar – 32 g
Butter – 57 g
Salt – 1 &1/4 tsp
Yeast – 1 tsp
Egg – 1

For the filling:-

Soft brown sugar – 90 g
Cinnamon powder – 2 tsp
Unsalted butter – 57 g

For the cream cheese frosting:-

Cream cheese – 80 g
Unsalted butter – 43 g
Powdered sugar – 125 g
Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
Salt – 1 pinch

Procedure for making the rolls:-

Into a bowl, add the milk, softened butter, sugar, salt, yeast and egg. Combine well. Bear in mind that all the ingredients ought to be room temperature. Add in the flour and combine to form the dough.
While kneading the dough by hand, transfer it onto a clean work surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth. DO NOT add more flour even if the dough is sticky! (It’s meant to be that way!)
Shape the dough into a ball, then flatten in a little. Cover it with a bowl/towel and let it rest for about 5 minutes. (This isn’t a proofing)
Next, roll the dough into a thin sheet. Pat, stretch and roll it out into a 18×15 inch rectangle. Spread soft butter over it.

Procedure for making the filling:-

It’s super easy, just mix the sugar and cinnamon powder together in a bowl!

Next steps:-

Sprinkle the filling mixture over the dough evenly. Roll the dough into a cylinder, but make sure to leave it loose and not to make it tight. Mark about 12 even portions (it doesn’t have to be 12, it can be whatever size you’d like it to be) and cut it with a thread or a dental floss.
Grease the baking pan with butter. Transfer the cinnamon rolls onto the pan and cover the rolls with a plastic wrap. Let it rise for about 50-60 minutes.
Bake at 177° Celsius (350° Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes.

Procedure for making the frosting:-

Into a bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract and salt. Beat thoroughly until they are light in texture and pale yellow in colour. Add the powdered sugar little by little and beat until you get a smooth, light cream frosting. Slather it onto your cinnamon rolls and voila!
