Ingredients
For the Rolls
- 1 cup warm water (95-115 degrees is perfect)
- ¾ cup buttermilk (room temperature)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp butter (melted & slightly cooled)
- 3 tbsp dry active yeast
- ½ tbsp table salt
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 5½ cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling
- ⅓ cup butter (melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the Icing
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (up to 4 tbsp depending on desired thickness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixer bowl, combine the warm water, buttermilk, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir to ensure the temperature is around 95 degrees.
- Once at the desired temperature, sprinkle the yeast over the mixture. Lightly press it with a fork to moisten and let it proof for 15 minutes. It should become puffed and frothy.
- Add the eggs and salt to the mixture.
- Gradually fold in the flour. Using a dough hook, mix slowly until the flour is fully incorporated.
- Increase the mixer to a medium-low speed and knead until the dough is smooth.
- Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes as you prepare the filling and preheat the oven.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well with a fork.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 7½ x 11-inch baking dish.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a flat, even layer.
- Brush the surface with melted butter and evenly sprinkle the filling mixture on top.
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
- Cut the log into 6 large equal rolls. An easy way to do this is to cut the log in half and then cut each half into three pieces.
- Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Prepare the Icing
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and confectioners sugar.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking until the icing reaches your desired consistency.
Step 5: Final Touches
- Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls, allowing it to melt slightly into the crevices for a luscious finish.
