Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk with yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
- In a bowl, combine cinnamon and brown sugar. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch each).
- Place the pieces on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the icing, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm CinnaSweeties.
