Cinnabon recipe

Here's a recipe for making delicious Cinnabon-style cinnamon rolls at home:

Ingredients:

For the dough:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup warm milk
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
For the filling:

1 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
For the cream cheese frosting:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp milk
Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.

Add the sugar, butter, eggs, and salt to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the butter.

Starting with the long side closest to you, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.

Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12 equal slices.

Place the slices into a lightly greased baking dish or cake pan, leaving a bit of space between each roll.

Cover the rolls with a damp towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.

While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.

Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to reach your desired consistency.

Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious homemade Cinnabons!
