Directions
-
In a bowl, combine 330 grams of flour, 60 grams of sugar, 120 ml warm milk, 50 grams butter, 1 egg, 5 grams baker’s yeast, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. First, dilute the yeast in warm milk with a little sugar, cover, and let it sit for 2 minutes.
-
Add 1 tablespoon of powdered milk to the yeast mixture, followed by sugar, egg, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
-
Gradually add flour to the wet ingredients and knead the dough by hand until smooth. Let the dough rise in a dry place for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
-
In a separate bowl, mix 80 grams of butter, 100 grams of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create the filling. Once the dough has risen, roll it out and spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over it. Roll the dough tightly and cut it into equal-sized pieces.
-
Grease a tray with butter and arrange the dough rolls on it. Cover and let them rise for another 50 minutes in a warm, dry place. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the rolls for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
-
For the frosting, mix 40 grams of cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of icing sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of cold milk until smooth. Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, spread the frosting over them.
