- Parchment paper
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 TB baking powder
- 1 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 7 TB butter
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 Tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch round with parchment paper.
To Make the Dough
- Mix together all of the dry ingredients with the softened butter.
- Add milk and vanilla paste and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
To Form the Rolls
- Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface to a 10 x 12 inch rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter on the surface.
- Sprinkle the surface evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon and pat down into the butter.
- Cut the dough into 3-inch wide strips, so that you are cutting across the shorter distance. You should have about 8 rolls.
- Roll the strips up into cinnamon rolls and place them in your prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
To Make the Frosting
- Add all icing ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until creamy.
- Spread icing on the rolls in the pan while they are still warm.

Recipe Tips
- Rolls don’t need to touch in the pan; they’ll expand as they bake.
- Frosting too thin? Add powdered sugar. Too thick? Stir in milk, 1 Tbsp at a time.
- Store covered in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warm or microwave 10–15 seconds.
