We love cinnamon rolls at home! My mom used to make them for me when I was little and it's a pleasure I absolutely wanted to pass on to Lya. 

For a total pleasure I add the recipe of my special cream cheese glaze to add on your rolls before tasting ! 

INGREDIENTS

 

  • 600 g of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 230 ml warm milk
  • 100 g sugar
  • 75 g melted butter
  • 1 sachet of baker's yeast
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • 220 g vergeoise or brown sugar
  • 75 g soft butter
  • 10 g cinnamon

Icing

  • 200 g powdered sugar
  • 50 g soft butter
  • 100 g fresh cheese spread such as Saint Moret
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

 


PREPARATION

  1. Make the dough, ideally with a bread machine, if not by hand.Bread machine: put in order the warm milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, cover with flour and finally the yeast. Use the dough program.
  2. By hand: conversely, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and sugar. In a bowl, put the flour, make a well and add the 2 eggs one by one then the milk/sugar/yeast mixture and the melted butter.
  3. Form a ball with the dough, cover and let it rise for 1 hour in an oven (oven off, closed, with a bowl of boiling water)
  4. Roll out the dough thinly on a floured work surface. Spread the soft butter over the entire surface with your hands, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll into a sausage and slice into 4 cm wide pieces.
  5. Place the pieces on a sheet of baking paper in a dish (with edges if possible)
  6. Cover with food paper and let rise in the oven for 1 hour
  7. Preheat the oven to 200°c and bake the cinnabons for 15-20 minutes (they should be golden brown)
  8. Make the glaze: beat the cheese, soft butter, sugar and vanilla with your electric whisk and coat the cinnabons with the glaze as soon as they come out of the oven.
