Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• Dough: 3 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp salt, 3/4 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup butter (melted), 1 egg
• Filling: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp cinnamon, 4 tbsp softened butter
• Frosting: 4 oz cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, 1 tsp vanilla

Method

1. Make dough: combine dry, add wet, knead 8 min. Rise 1 hour.

2. Roll into 16x12 rectangle. Spread butter, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon.

3. Roll tightly from the long side. Cut into 12 pieces. Place in buttered 9x13 pan.

4. Rise 30 min. Bake 375°F for 22–25 min until golden.

5. Frost while warm with cream cheese frosting.

What You're Practicing

• The second rise in the pan is what makes them fluffy.
• Frosting while warm lets it melt into the crevices.
• Use dental floss to cut the log cleanly (knife squishes the dough).
