Recipe:

Ingredients for the Dough:

  • 500g strong bread flour
  • 240g soy milk
  • 1 tsp dry brewer’s yeast
  • 60g soft butter
  • 1 egg
  • 50g white sugar
  • 50g whole cane sugar

Ingredients for the Filling:

  • 30g ground cinnamon
  • 40g whole cane sugar

Ingredients for the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 box of cream cheese (about 200g)
  • 40g soft butter
  • 1 tsp icing sugar

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve the dry brewer’s yeast in the lukewarm soy milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, whole cane sugar, soft butter, and egg. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  2. First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, mix together the ground cinnamon and whole cane sugar in a small bowl for the filling.
  4. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into even pieces, about 2 inches thick, to create your cinnamon rolls.
  5. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll for them to expand. Cover with a towel and let the rolls rise again for 1 hour.
  6. Bake the Cinnamon Rolls: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: While the rolls are baking, make the cream cheese frosting. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, soft butter, and icing sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost the Rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting generously over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!

These soft, buttery cinnamon rolls are the perfect fall treat, bringing warmth and sweetness to any day. Enjoy them with a cup of your favorite hot drink!
