Cinnabon Copycat Recipe 2
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
– 1 cup warm milk
– 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup melted butter
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
– 1/3 cup softened butter
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
– 6 tablespoons softened butter
– 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup cream cheese
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add the melted butter, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, and half of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well until the dough starts to come together.
3. Gradually add the remaining flour while kneading the dough until it is smooth and slightly sticky. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
4. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 16×21 inches in size.
5. For the filling, spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the butter.
6. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
7. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) during this time.
8. Bake the Cinnabon rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.
9. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
10. Once the rolls are done baking, let them cool slightly before generously spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top.
