The Enchanting World of Cinnamon

Cinnamon, a spice steeped in history, is the star of our Frosted Cinnamon Rolls recipe. This ancient spice, derived from the inner bark of Cinnamomum trees, was once considered more precious than gold. 

The Egyptians used it in embalming, and the Romans revered it as sacred. Today, cinnamon is celebrated for its warm, sweet aroma and numerous health benefits. 

It's packed with antioxidants, known for reducing inflammation and controlling blood sugar.

Crafting the Perfect Frosted Cinnamon Rolls

Our Frosted Cinnamon Rolls recipe is a harmonious blend of flavours and textures. The dough, soft and pillowy, forms the base. Made with premium bread flour, it guarantees a fluffy texture. 

The filling, a rich mix of brown sugar and cinnamon, is lavishly spread over the dough, creating layers of sweetness and spice. Once baked, these rolls turn into golden-brown spirals of joy, topped with a creamy, decadent frosting.

The frosting, a mixture of cream cheese, Stork butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, adds a luxurious touch to the rolls. It transforms these cinnamon rolls into a divine treat.

Serving and Enjoying

Frosted Cinnamon Rolls are best savoured warm, with the frosting slightly melted, enhancing their softness. They pair wonderfully with coffee or tea, ideal for special occasions, leisurely weekend mornings, or as a cosy treat.

Storing and Reheating

Store these cinnamon rolls at room temperature or refrigerate. For reheating, a quick stint in the microwave will restore their freshness.

Conclusion

Frosted Cinnamon Rolls are not just a dessert but a fusion of history, flavour, and baking joy. Whether you're an experienced baker or a beginner, this recipe promises to impress and delight.

Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

Dough: 

200ml warm milk, 

1 sachet quick-rise yeast, 

60g white sugar, 

1 whole egg, 

1 egg yolk, 

60g melted Stork butter, 

750 bread flour, 

pinch of salt.

Filling: 

60g Softened Stork butter, 

400g brown sugar, 

2 tablespoons cinnamon.

Frosting: 

100g Cream cheese, 

2 tablespoons Stork butter, 

150g powdered sugar, 

Few drops of vanilla extract.

Method

Dough Preparation: Mix yeast in warm milk with sugar, add eggs, butter, flour, and salt. Knead for about 8 minutes if by Kenwood. You will need at least 10- 12 minutes on a well-floured surface by hand.

Let it rise: Place the dough in a well-greased bowl and cover with stretch & seal and a warm cloth. Allow it to rest and rise for around 1 hour and a half.

Make the cinnamon mix: In the meantime, mix the soft butter, cinnamon, and sugar in a separate bowl.

Assembling Rolls: Roll out the dough and apply the cinnamon mix evenly. Put some mix near the edges so you use the whole of the dough. Roll tightly and slice evenly.

Baking: Place the rolls in a pan, allow a second rise (40 minutes), then bake until golden brown (30 minutes or until golden).

Frosting: Combine cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla. Spread on warm rolls.
