Ingredients

Units Scale

Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • 1/4 c. butter
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 c. warm water
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 TBSP yeast
  • 1 TBSP sea salt
  • 56 c. unbleached white flour or bread flour

Cinnamon Filling

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp. cinnamon

Fluffy Cinnamon Roll Frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Set oven to 350 °.
  2. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or spray a 10″ x 15″ baking dish.
  3. In a small sauce pan heat the butter, milk and sugar, just until warm. Cool to 110°.
  4. Whisk the butter mixture, warm water, yeast and whisked eggs together. Let rest and foam for 10 minutes.
  5. In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add the butter mixture, salt and 2 c. of flour to start. Continue to add flour ONE cup at a time until the bowl starts to clean.
  6. Let the dough rest for at least 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon filling.
  7. Roll into a rectangle about 1/4″ thick and spread the cinnamon filling over the dough. Roll up into a cylinder shape pinching together the seams. Use a little water on your fingers if need to get the seams tight.
  8. Cut into 1/2″ to 3/4″ rolls. Place on baking sheet 1″-2″ apart or into a baking dish and let them touch. Rise until doubled in size.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes and check if the dough springs back. Bake 5 minutes at a time longer if they don’t spring back. Temping at 190° is the best way to check for doneness.
  10. Finish by spreading with fluffy frosting below!

Cinnamon Filling – Combine and spread on dough.

Fluffy Frosting – Beat all ingredients together for 3 minutes.

Notes

  • Adding too much or too little flour can make your dough dry, or not hold together. Add one cup at a time until you see a ‘chunky’ mix appear – I start adding by the 1/2 c. at that point.
  • Use a digital thermometer to temp water, and baked rolls.
