Ingredients
12 Servings
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 200 g brown sugar
- 60 g cream cheese
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 7 g instant yeast
- 1 large egg
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 75 g unsalted butter
- 75 g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 240 ml whole milk
- 2 tbsp whole milk
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast together.
Step 2
Warm the milk in the microwave until it is warm to the touch, then add the melted butter and egg. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
Step 7
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.
Step 8
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly to form a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
Step 9
Cover the buns and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 10
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 11
While the buns are baking, make the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Step 12
Once the buns are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing on top. Serve warm.
