Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour, sifted
buns-
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, whisked
- 1½ Tbsp active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, measured then sifted
cream cheese filling-
- 16 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temp
- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- For easier clean-up, cover 2 9"x13" baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- On the stovetop, in a saucepan, combine milk, salt and sugar. Heat until milk is warm but not hot.
- Remove from heat and add whisked eggs.
- Add yeast and stir, cover and set aside for yeast to activate, about 3 minutes.
- Add flour and mix until flour is well incorporated, soft and slightly sticky.
- Cover dough and allow to rise for one hour.
- Dust working surface generously with flour. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
- Roll out dough into a large rectangle to about 18"x14". Spread half of cream cheese mixture on top of dough. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon and flour.
- Lightly roll up the dough. Gently cut into 12 pieces (15 if you want the buns smaller). Place buns onto the baking pan.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover pans, allow to rise for 30 minutes.
- In a preheated oven to 375°F, bake 18-22 minutes, until tops of buns are golden brown.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, optional.
- Enjoy!
