How to make cinnamon rolls buns?
Instructions for making the rolls:
1. Combine flour, salt, spices, sugars, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk to combine, and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, microwave milk, butter, vanilla, and sour cream until warm to the touch, stirring until butter is melted.
3. Attach a dough hook to the mixer and pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, running on low speed. Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together and is tacky but not sticky.
4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, adding additional flour as needed. Place the dough in a large oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place. The dough will more than double in size due to its richness, so this process will take some time.
5. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it’s a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Spread room temperature butter over the surface, leaving a small, unbuttered strip at one narrow side. If you choose the wider side for the unbuttered strip, you’ll end up with more cinnamon rolls, but they will be smaller.
Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar and roll the dough into a spiral, starting from the opposite end of the unbuttered strip.
6. Cut the dough into even pieces approximately 1 1/2 inches long. You can use dental floss or a sharp knife to make the cuts.
7. Place the rolls cut-side-up in a baking dish and let them rest in a warm place for around 40 minutes to allow for a final rise. Make the glaze while the rolls are rising or during the bake.
8. Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the rolls for 28-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top. If they begin to get too brown at the 20-minute mark, cover them loosely with foil and continue baking.
Glaze Recipe:
To make the glaze, combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla, salt, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth. Alternatively, you can use a small food processor to make the glaze even more easily. Once the mixture is smooth, add powdered sugar and beat again until fully incorporated. If you prefer a thinner frosting, add an additional tablespoon or two of milk. Drizzle half of the glaze over the cinnamon rolls immediately after removing them from the oven. Save the rest of the glaze to add later once the rolls have cooled, or add it to individual pieces when serving.
Tips for baking cinnamon rolls buns
- It’s essential to measure the flour correctly. The most common mistake is adding too much flour. The best way to measure flour is to use a scale. If you don’t have one, fluff your flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off.
- As the dough is enriched, I recommend setting your oven to 100F and letting it rise in a warm and cozy environment. Don’t worry if the dough doesn’t start rising immediately; it will take longer due to all the yummy ingredients we added to the dough.
- To make these cinnamon rolls as overnight rolls, assemble them in a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate, and let them rise in a warm place before baking.
- You can refrigerate the dough overnight. Punch it down after a couple of hours in the fridge, and when you’re ready to use it, roll it out. However, note that it will take longer for the second rise as the dough will be cold.
- Ensure that the rolls have enough room to expand in the pan; don’t crowd them together.
- Toasted pecans are a great addition to these cinnamon rolls if you’re in the mood for something extra.
- You can add more cinnamon and spices, like allspice (1/4-1/2 tsp), to enhance the flavor.
