Luxury Delicious Homemade Classic Cinnamon Rolls

Must-Haves:

• 2 cups Organic All-purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)


• 3 cups Artisan Bread flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)


• 1 packet Rapid Rise Yeast (That’s 2 1/4 tsps!)


• 1/2 cup organic brown sugar + 1 Tbsp (I used Sugar in the
  Raw!)


• 1 1/4 cup Almond milk (I used Califia Farms; You can also
  use whole milk if preferred)


• 1/4 cup WARM water


• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (That’s 4 Tbsps!)


• 2 large eggs, room temp.


• 1/2 tsp sea salt


• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Filling:

• 3 Tbsps unsalted butter, melted


• 1/2 cup organic brown sugar (I used Sugar in the Raw!)


• 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon


• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg


• 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 oz. organic cream cheese, at room temp (That’s 1/2 a
  pack!)


• 1 tsp vanilla extract


• 3 cups organic powdered sugar


• 2-4 Tbsps organic heavy cream


• 3 Tbsps unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

For the Dough:

1. Start by combining the yeast and 1 Tbsp brown sugar in the
   bowl of an electric mixer and then slowly pouring in the warm water, while
   stirring everything together. Allow 10 minutes for the mixture to sit and the
   yeast to activate (It’ll become foamy when done right!). 


2. Meanwhile, melt the butter and milk together over the stove
   top on low to medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter has fully
   melted. NOTE: You don’t want the mixture to get too hot or boil! Set aside and
   let it cool until WARM. 


3. Add lukewarm butter-milk mixture to yeast and mix until well
   combined. Add eggs, one at a time and continue mixing on low speed until well
   combined. 


4. Next, combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, brown
   sugar, sea salt and cinnamon to the wet ingredients and mix on low-speed until
   well combined. 


5. Change “mixer head” to kneading accessory and
   knead dough for 5-10 minutes on medium-high speed until dough ball becomes
   smooth and elastic and dough springs back when lightly pressed with 2 fingers.
   NOTE: If dough is too sticky, add 1 Tbsp of flour at a time until texture is
   achieved! 


6. Once dough ball is perfectly kneaded, add it to a lightly
   greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit and rise for 1 hour to an
   hour + 15 minutes. 


7. In the meantime, you can work on the filling! 

For the Filling:

1. Melt butter and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine
   cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and brown sugar and set aside as well. 


2. Once the hour has gone by and your dough has risen (about
   double it’s original size), preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next,
   flour a flat surface and place the dough on it and using a rolling-pin, roll it
   out to a rectangle (approximately 9″x14), trimming the edges if needed.
   NOTE: Try not to make the dough too thin or else rolling it up will be hard to
   do!


3. Then, generously brush melted butter overtop of dough and
   spoon the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter. NOTE: I also use a ‘pastry
   brush’ to sweep sugar mixture evenly across the dough to ensure that every bite
   is sweet! 


4. Tightly roll dough (long-ways) and using a pastry cutter,
   cut dough into 1.5″ rolls, placing each roll into a large baking dish
   (lined with parchment paper!). 


5. Then place plastic wrap over the baking dish with rolls and
   let them rise again (for another 20 minutes). 


6. Once the rolls have doubled in size (once again!) or have
   gotten significantly larger, brush the tops of the rolls with a little more
   melted butter and then bake them for approximately 25 minutes in the preheated
   oven. 


7. While all the baking magic is happening, make the cream
   cheese glaze and set aside. 

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

1. Simply combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an
   electric mixer & beat together on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add
   powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, continuing to mix on medium
   speed until you reach the desired consistency. **Add more heavy (1 Tbsp at a
   time if too thick) or powdered sugar (for more thickness).* 


2. Remove the rolls from oven and wait 15-20 minutes or so
   (until it completely cools), and then spread the glaze atop the rolls using a
   rubber spatula. 


3. Bon Appetite!
