Classic cinnamon rolls are soft, fluffy sweet rolls filled with a rich cinnamon-sugar filling and topped with a smooth cream cheese frosting. These homemade cinnamon rolls are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The dough is buttery and light, the filling is warm and aromatic, and the frosting melts beautifully over the warm rolls.<\/p>\n
This recipe may take a little time because of the rising process, but the final result is incredibly soft and delicious cinnamon rolls that taste just like those from a bakery.<\/p>\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Add about one teaspoon of the sugar and gently stir. Let the mixture sit for about 5\u201310 minutes until it becomes foamy. This step ensures the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.<\/p>\n
Add the remaining sugar, the egg, egg yolk, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk everything together until well combined.<\/p>\n
Gradually add the flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.<\/p>\n
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8\u201310 minutes. The dough should become smooth, soft, and slightly elastic. If it feels too sticky, add a little flour, but avoid adding too much.<\/p>\n
You can also knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 6\u20138 minutes.<\/p>\n
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.<\/p>\n
Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1\u00bd hours<\/strong>, or until it doubles in size.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together until well combined. Set it aside.<\/p>\n Make sure the butter is softened so it can easily spread over the dough.<\/p>\n Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down gently to release the air.<\/p>\n Transfer it onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 16 \u00d7 12 inches (40 \u00d7 30 cm)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Spread the softened butter evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.<\/p>\n Starting from the long side of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough into a log.<\/p>\n Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 9 to 12 equal pieces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them so they can expand during the second rise.<\/p>\n Cover the baking dish with a towel and allow the rolls to rise again for about 30\u201345 minutes<\/strong> until they become slightly puffy.<\/p>\n This step helps make the cinnamon rolls soft and fluffy.<\/p>\n Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20\u201325 minutes<\/strong>, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.<\/p>\n Avoid overbaking, as this can make the rolls dry.<\/p>\n While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the frosting.<\/p>\n In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.<\/p>\n Add milk gradually until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.<\/p>\n Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for about 5\u201310 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls so it melts slightly and coats them beautifully.<\/p>\n Serve warm and enjoy your homemade classic cinnamon rolls.<\/p>\n Make sure the milk is warm but not hot, as hot milk can kill the yeast. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Classic Cinnamon Rolls Classic cinnamon rolls are soft, fluffy sweet rolls filled with a rich cinnamon-sugar filling and…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2782,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2781"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2783,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781\/revisions\/2783"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Step 4: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling<\/h2>\n
