How to make cinnamon rolls ?

These cinnamon rolls are soft, warm, and filled with a sweet cinnamon filling, topped with a rich cream cheese icing. They make for the perfect breakfast or snack, especially when served fresh out of the oven with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

For the dough, start by mixing the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the dry yeast. Pour in the warm milk and stir until the yeast dissolves. Then, add the eggs and melted butter, mixing everything together until you have a smooth dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes, until it becomes elastic and smooth. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

While the dough is rising, prepare the cinnamon filling. In a bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Once your dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 30 x 40 cm in size. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly across the dough.

Next, assemble the cinnamon rolls by rolling the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice the log into 3-4 cm thick pieces and arrange them in a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Cover the dish with a towel and allow the rolls to rise for another 30 minutes.

After the rolls have risen, bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly while you prepare the icing.

For the cream cheese icing, beat together the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a little milk to reach a creamy consistency.

Once the rolls have cooled slightly, generously drizzle the cream cheese icing over the cinnamon rolls. Serve them warm for the best experience. These cinnamon rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of day.
