One-Hour Homemade Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Averie Cooks
  • 60 minutes
  • Serves 9 to 10

INGREDIENTS

Dough

2 1/2 cups

all-purpose flour (bread flour may be substituted; rolls will be firmer and chewier rather than softer and fluffier; you may only need 2 1/4 cups bread flour) + extra flour if needed, see directions

1 cup

buttermilk, warmed to manufacturer’s directions, see directions

2 1/4 tsp

instant dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce packet, I use Red Star Platinum)

2 tbsp

canola or vegetable oil

2 tbsp

granulated sugar

1/4 tsp

salt, optional and to taste

Filling

1/2 cup

unsalted butter (1 stick), very soft

1/3 cup

granulated sugar

1/3 cup

light brown sugar, packed

3 tbsp

cinnamon

Frosting

4 oz

cream cheese, very soft (light cream cheese may be substituted, but it’s runnier and you may want to skip the cream)

about 2 cups confectioners’ sugar

about 2 to 3 tablespoons cream, half-and-half, or milk (eggnog, maple syrup, orange juice, Baileys, or Kahlua may be substituted if desired)
