Cinnamon Roll Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup milk

  warmed to 110 degrees F – we use Oatly full fat for dairy free
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs

  room temperature
• 1/3 cup butter

  melted – we use Country Crock Plant Butter for dairy free
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup butter

  softened
• 4 oz cream cheese

  1/2 cup softened, we use Violife (in the cardboard) or Trader Joe's brand for dairy free
• 1/2 cup butter

  softened- we use Country Crock Plant Butter for dairy free
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Place the warm milk into your stand mixer bowl or a large bowl and sprinkle in
  the yeast with the sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
• 2 Once the yeast is foamy (bloomed) you can add in the eggs and melted butter and
  mix until combined. Then add in the flour mixed with salt one cup at a time, we
  use our Danish whisk to mix by hand until the dough pulls away from the sides of
  the bowl and the dough is smooth. If the dough is sticky add 1 tablespoon more
  flour at a time. Knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes once it comes together.
• 3 Once you’re done kneading the dough add the dough to an oiled bowl and toss the
  dough in the oil. Cover with a damp cloth in a warm area in the kitchen and let
  it rise for 1 hour so it can double in size.
• 4 When it’s been about 45 minutes prepare the cinnamon roll filling by combining
  the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• 5 When the dough has risen to double in size you can release the air by pushing
  your fist into the dough.
• 6 Trasnfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle
  about 14-16 inches long. Spread the softened butter onto the dough and then
  sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• 7 Next tightly roll up the dough starting on one end and then move your hands down
  to the other hand so you can roll it tightly and evenly.
• 8 Cut the cinnamon roll log into 9 rolls using unflavored dental floss or a sharp
  knife.
• 9 Place the slice cinnamon rolls into a greased 9×13 baking pan and cover with a
  damp cloth and let the dough rise for another hour.
• 10 When it’s 45 minutes into the hour you can preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 11 Remove the cloth from the rolls and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are
  browning nicely.
• 12 Let the cinnamon rolls cool before frosting.
• 13 While the cinnamon rolls are cooling combine the cream cheese frosting
  ingredients in a bowl and beat until fully combined.
• 14 Once the cinnamon rolls are cooled spread the cream cheese frosting onto the
  rolls.
