Soft delicious Cinnamon rolls

I had a disappointing attempt at Pülla but I had added more flour than I should have so I have been making other bread products to make up for that.  Everyone love it but I was not impressed by my work.  So here comes some Cinnamon rolls.b I had intended toaie some lemon rolls with the pülla dough, so instead I will make a different bit of deliciousness.

Soft Cinnamon rolls

1 cup warm milk, 110°f

2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast 

⅓ cup salted butter, melted and cooled down

½ cup sugar

2 eggs, room temp.

1 tsp salt

4 cups bread flour, although I used all purpose.

Filling:

½ cups softened butter

2 tbsp cinnamon 

1 cup packed brown sugar.

Frosting:

½ block cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp butter, softened

½ tsp maple extract or maple syrup 

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 cups icing sugar

-Bloom yeast in the warm milk for about 5 minutes or until frothy. I do this in the bowl of my mixer that I heated up a bit by running under warm water.

-Once bloomed add butter, sugar, eggs, salt and flour. Mix with paddle or dough hook until mix combined.  Let sit 5 minutes to absorb the moisture.  Then mix again on low with dough hook for 5 minutes.

-Remove dough from bowl, spray the bowl with a bit of oil and put the dough back.  Cover with towel or lid and let rise in cool oven (not on) with the light on.  The light will produce enough warmth to get things rising. Let rise until it doubles, near 1 to 1.5 hours.

-Make filling by mixing all 3 ingredients together.

-One had risen, dump out of bowl onto a flour dusted counter and roll out into a large rectangle.  Then spread the filling evenly except for a 1 cm edge at the top.

From the bottom roll up dough in a fairly tight roll and pinch closed along that edge.  

-Cut into 12 equal pieces and place in a 9 x 13 buttered glass pan. Cover and let rise while oven oreheats

-Preheat oven to 375°f or 190°c

-Bake 20 to 30 minutes.  Keep an eye on it.  You want them golden but not too brown. 

-Beat together butter and cream cheese in a small bowl.  Add flavourings and icing sugar. Mix until combined.

-Once removed from the oven, let cool and then top with frosting.

Enjoy!
