Ingredients
- For the dough:
- - 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 2 and 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- - 1/2 cup milk
- - 1/4 cup water
- - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- - 1 large egg
- For the filling:
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- - 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the cream cheese glaze:
- - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- - 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- - 1 cup powdered sugar
- - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- - 2-3 tablespoons milk
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let it cool to about 110°F (43°C).
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and stir until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating together the softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls.
- Serve the ooey gooey breakfast rolls warm and enjoy!
