Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze
First, let’s have a look at the mouthwatering image of the rolls you’ll be creating:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- Warm the buttermilk until it’s lukewarm (not hot), and then whisk in the melted butter and eggs. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long end, and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by mixing together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls and enjoy!
