  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

For the Secret Ingredient Glaze:

  • 1/3 cup (75g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30g) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
    • Add sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Mix well. Gradually add flour and knead until a soft dough forms.
    • Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
    • Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 12×18 inches). Spread softened butter over the surface and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
  3. Shape the Rolls:
    • Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 even pieces. Place rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
  4. Bake:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Prepare the Glaze:
    • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
  6. Add the Secret Twist:
    • Spread the glaze over the warm rolls to allow it to melt slightly into the layers. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra flair.

Enjoy your upgraded cinnamon rolls!
