Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients:
- 162 grams Rhodes dinner rolls
- 27 grams unsalted butter (for the rolls)
- 18 grams sugar
- 2.4 grams cinnamon
- 1.2 grams vanilla extract (for the rolls)
- 6 grams unsalted butter (to butter the pan)
- 11.2 grams cream cheese
- 1.1 grams vanilla extract (for the icing)
- 36 grams powdered sugar
- 6.7 grams unsalted butter (for the icing)
- 2 grams whole milk
Instructions:
Let the dough defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
On a clean surface, use a rolling pin and hands to shape the dough into a large rectangle.
Soften the unsalted butter (for the rolls), mix in the vanilla extract (for the rolls) , and then spread it over the dough, covering it completely.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar until combined, then sprinkle over the buttered dough.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log, securing the end by pinching the dough together.
Cut the roll into slices of your desired size, keeping in mind they will expand to about three times their size.
Soften the unsalted butter designated for buttering the pan. Generously apply it to the baking dish, ensuring complete coverage. Place the cinnamon roll slices in the dish, cover with oiled foil, and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 30 minutes or until done. This cooking time will vary depending on thickness of the rolls.
While the cinnamon rolls are baking, start on the icing. First, ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract (for the icing), powdered sugar, unsalted butter (also softened, for the icing), and whole milk in a bowl. Mix until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Spread this icing over the warm cinnamon rolls right after they come out of the oven, ready to be served.
