Cinnamon Bun Ingredients
Method
Cinnamon Bun Directions
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Shape the Buns
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Bake the Buns
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Make the Cream Cheese Glaze
In a medium bowl, beat together room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Glaze the Buns
Once the buns have cooled slightly, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top and serve warm.
