Ingredients
Scale
4 cups of all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 packet (2¼ tsp) of active dry yeast
½ cup of whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
⅓ cup of granulated sugar
¼ cup of unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp of salt
½ cup of brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp of ground cinnamon
Zest of 1 large orange
¼ cup of unsalted butter, softened
4 oz of cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups of powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp of milk
½ tsp of vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add in the melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix until it just comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
While waiting, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange zest in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle—about 16×12 inches. Spread the softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal, and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish, cut sides up.
Cover again and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze generously over the top.
