Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed to 110°F)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2.5 tablespoons premium organic cinnamon powder
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. Warm the milk to 110°F. Whisk in the instant yeast and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, combine the yeast mixture, remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Add the flour and salt. Knead with a dough hook for 7-9 minutes until smooth and tacky.
  3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Mix the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and premium organic cinnamon powder into a thick paste for the filling.
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the filling paste evenly over the surface.
  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices using dental floss. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  7. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffed. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  9. Spread the icing over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
