Ingredients:
- Dough:
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 360g flour
- 50g sugar
- 57g butter, softened
- 185g milk, warmed
- 1 packet of dry yeast
- Heavy cream, for baking
- Filling:
- Generous amounts of really soft butter
- Sugar (to taste)
- Cinnamon (to taste)
- Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 200g cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions:
- Start by mixing the warm milk with yeast. Let it sit until the yeast is activated.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, butter, and sugar to the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add in the flour, mixing to form a dough that is sticky but manageable. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour, or for a deeper flavor, up to 24 hours.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Spread a generous layer of soft butter over the dough, then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and cut into slices using a very sharp knife or dental floss.
- Place the rolls in a buttered baking pan, leaving space between them for expansion. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Pour heavy cream over the rolls to ensure they bake up moist and gooey.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the rolls for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the rolls are baking, mix the cream cheese with powdered sugar to create the frosting.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and while still warm, spread the cream cheese frosting over them.
Enjoy these delectable Gooey Cinnamon Rolls, a sweet and indulgent treat that’s perfect for any occasion or simply as a luxurious way to start your day!
