Cinnamon rolls
Ingredients for the dough :
Dry:
500 g flour
45 g starch
1 package of dry yeast
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1 package of vanilla sugar
pinch of salt
Wet:
1 egg
300 ml of room temperature milk
Ingredients for the filling :
70 g of soft butter
150 g brown cane sugar
2,5 tsp of cinnamon
Creamcheese-Frosting :
50 g Double Cream Cheese
100 g powered sugar
Dough :
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl, make a hollow in the middle and add the egg and milk into it -
Use your hands to combine the ingredients, it’ll be sticky at first but you have to keep kneading until you get a soft dough. I recommend kneading on a flat surface because it usually doesn’t work so well in the bowl. You should knead for at least 5 min.
Shape the dough into a ball and put it back into your bowl, cover it up and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour.
Filling :
Mix the brown cane sugar and cinnamon, then use 3/4 of that and mix it with your soft butter. You should get a dark brown cream with thick consistency. We’ll spread that later on our dough - and sprinkle the left over sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
After an hour your dough should have risen to double its size !
Take it out of the bowl and roll it out into a rectangular shape.
Spread your butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly until everything is covered. Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon (that you’ve left) on top of that.
Now you can either roll that up tightly and then cut it into slices *or* you leave the dough as it is, cut stripes (around 4 cm) and then roll them up individually ! That way your cinnamon rolls will have more dimension :)
Grease your baking dish and put your cinnamon rolls next to each other (make sure to leave some space)
Cover them up and let them rise in a warm place for another hour ! This step is essential, don’t skip it.
An hour has passed and the cinnamon rolls are ready to go into the *preheated* oven ! Bake for 25 min at 190° C 🌡
After 25 minutes I turn the heat off and start preparing the cream cheese frosting ! This is by far the easiest step : just take a fork and mix your double cream cheese and powdered sugar, it combines very well ! The texture shouldn’t be too runny nor too thick - just creamy (if it’s too liquid add more powdered sugar / if too thick just more cream cheese or a teaspoon of milk — but that shouldn’t happen) Spread your cream cheese frosting on the hot cinnamon rolls and enjoy !! <3 I recommend eating them when they’re still warm
