Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Rolls:

3/4 cup of milk
4 tablespoon of butter, cut into chunks
3 1/4 – 3 1/2 cups of Turkey Bread Flour, divided
1 (.25 ounce) package instant or ‘rapid rise’ yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp)
1/4 cup of white sugar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1 egg

For the Filling:

1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened

For the Icing:

1 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 block of cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1–2 tablespoons of milk
Springtime sprinkles

Directions

To make the homemade cinnamon roll dough, place milk and 4 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Butter should be mostly melted, but do not boil. Stir and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together 2 C flour, yeast, white sugar, and salt. When milk mixture has cooled to warm (not hot) add it to the flour mixture along with the egg. Beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Add in the rest of the flour a few tablespoons at a time, being careful not to add too much. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky. Knead dough for 5 minutes.
Turn homemade cinnamon roll dough out onto a floured surface and let rest for about 10 minutes while you make the filling.
For the filling, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
When the dough has finished rising, roll it out into a rectangle about 12 x 14 inches. Spread brown sugar mixture over the surface and use your fingers or the back of a spoon to gently spread around. Roll up from the longer side of the rectangle and pinch edges closed.
Score the roll into 12 equal pieces and then cut into rolls. Place in a 9 x 13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cover pan with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. When rolls have finished rising bake for 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown.
For the icing, beat together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Spread on the homemade cinnamon rolls while warm and top with desired amount of sprinkles.
Serve and enjoy!

*Note, for more festive homemade cinnamon rolls, you can incorporate the sprinkles throughout the dough.
