Overnight Cinnamon Rolls with Mascarpone Icing

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 4 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warmed milk, melted butter, and eggs. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until it becomes smooth, about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle of about 16×24 inches.
  6. Spread melted butter over the surface and sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
  7. Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  9. The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
  10. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. While they bake, make the icing by whisking together the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  11. Once the rolls are done, let them cool slightly before drizzling on the mascarpone icing. Serve warm and enjoy!
