After trying out dozens of cinnamon roll recipes I can finally say this is truly the best one I've ever tasted. A delicious gooey cinnamon center topped with the yummiest cream cheese frosting!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup warm water
1 TBSP active dry yeast
1 cup warm whole milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
flour
Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
6 TBSP butter
Frosting:
4 oz. cream cheese softened
2 TBSP butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
My favorite trick:
Drizzle with 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream before baking rolls
Instructions:
Mix together warm water and yeast cover with plate and let sit for 5 min.
Heat milk in microwave and pour into mixing bowl add oil, salt, and sugar. Mix in flour and eggs. Stir in yeast mixture. Mix until soft dough forms.
Knead dough onto a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Put dough back into a sprayed mixing bowl and cover with with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place for an hour to an hour and a half until doubled in size.
Roll out dough onto a floured surfaced into a rectangle about 20x14 inches. Spread with butter and sprinkle on cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll up into a tight log and cut into rolls using a knife or unflavored floss.
Put rolls onto cookie sheet and tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Place in fridge overnight.
In the morning remove plastic wrap and cover loosely with a dish towel. Let rise for 30 minutes until doubled in size. Drizzle heavy cream over the top of the rolls for a gooier center. Bake at 400 degrees for 13 minutes. Top with frosting while still warm.
