👩‍🍳 How to Make Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
1. Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add sugar, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter. Mix well. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or with a dough hook until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
2. Prepare the Filling
Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to form a spreadable paste.
3. Roll and Fill
Punch down the risen dough and roll out into a rectangle (about 14×9 inches). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly across the surface. Roll tightly from the long side and slice into 12 even rolls.
4. Second Rise
Place rolls into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until puffy.
5. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool slightly while you prepare the icing.
6. Make the Icing
Beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add milk to thin as needed. Spread over warm (not hot!) rolls so it melts just a bit into all those sweet swirls.
🌟 Tips for Success
Overnight version: After shaping, cover and refrigerate overnight. Let rise at room temp for 30–45 minutes before baking.
