Cinnamon Creamy Rolls
Preparation:

Dough:

  1. Mix sugar and yeast in lukewarm milk, and leave the yeast to activate for about 15 minutes. Add eggs to the fermented yeast, beat a little with a hand whisk, then gradually add flour and knead the dough. At the end, add butter at room temperature, and knead until you get a compact and smooth dough that is not sticky.

  2. Cover the finished dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 45 minutes. During this time, prepare the base, filling, and coating for the end.


Base for Tray:

  1. Beat the butter and sugar with a mixer until foamy; add honey, cinnamon, and sweet cream. Immediately pour the mixture into a baking tray measuring 20 × 30 cm, spread it evenly on the bottom of the baking tray, and press it against the sides.


Filling:

  1. Beat room-temperature butter, sugar, and cinnamon with a mixer, then set aside. It is a coating for the dough when you roll it out with a rolling pin.


Coating for Baked Rolls:

  1. Finally, prepare the coating for baked cinnamon rolls.

  2. Beat the butter with powdered sugar until foamy, then add the sweet cream and cream cheese and once again mix everything well into a compact mixture. Set the mixture aside for the end.


Processing:

  1. Transfer the risen dough to the little floured work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin into a rectangle, the thickness of one finger.

  2. Spread the dough with a filling made of butter, sugar, and cinnamon over the entire surface.

  3. Roll the filled dough into a roll and cut into 12 equal parts. Place the cut parts in a tray covered with a base, with the cut part towards the bottom. 3 rolls fit in 4 rows in a baking tray.

  4. Let the rolls rest for 20 minutes to rise a little. Heat the oven to 180 °C. Pour 60 ml of the rest of the sweet cream into the cavities between the rolls, then put in the oven. Bake the rolls at 180 °C for about 30 min.

  5. Leave the finished baked rolls to cool down for about 10 minutes, then cover with a filling made of butter, sweet cream, sugar, and cream cheese.

  6. Serve warm dessert.


Buon appetito!


NOTE:
  • You don't have to make a coating after baking these rolls if you don't like too much sweetness and spread! You can also certainly replace them with Nutella, but I would prefer the variant according to this recipe.

  • Cover the cinnamon rolls with aluminum foil and keep them in a cool place.
