📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a small 7” pie plate (or other similar sized pan) with cooking spray.
2
Active Dry Yeast Instructions
(13g) granulated sugar1 tablespoonactive dry yeast (measured out from 2 packets)1 tablespoon(42g) unsalted butter (very soft but not melted)3 tablespoons(42g) unsalted butter3 tablespoons(28g) melted unsalted butter2 tablespoons(56g) cream cheese (very soft)2 ounces(28g) unsalted butter (melted)2 tablespoons(15ml) maple syrup1 tablespoon(5ml) vanilla extract1 teaspoon
3
Place the water, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Let the mixture rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes. It will be very frothy when your timer rings!
4
Mix in the salt and butter using the paddle, until the butter breaks up into the mixture. Switch to the dough hook and add the flour. Start on “Stir” for a few seconds, until the flour starts to incorporate. Switch to “2” for about ⏱️ 30 seconds and then kick it up to “3” until the dough completely comes together. You know it’s done when all of the dough will join to form a ball and the sides of the bowl are almost clean (no dough left). If your dough is too wet, add an additional tablespoon or two of flour.
5
Instant Yeast Instructions
6
Whisk 1 cup flour with yeast, sugar and salt. Add water and butter to a measuring cup and microwave until it's between 120-130°F (the butter won't completely melt).
7
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine. Add an additional 1/2 cup flour and mix. By hand: mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a floured cutting board and knead until smooth and elastic. Mixer: Mix until dough comes together in a ball, then turn out onto a floured cutting board. You shouldn't need to knead it much. You'll know the dough is ready when it bounces back when pressed with 2 fingers. Cover and let rest ⏱️ 10 minutes.
8
Filling the Rolls
9
Whisk the cinnamon and brown sugar together for the filling.
10
Roll out dough to a rectangle that’s about 9x11” or so. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with filling
11
Roll up the dough into a tight roll. Cut into 6 equal slices with a serrated knife. Place in prepared pan.
12
Let the dough rest for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes on the stove top while oven is preheating.
13
Bake for about ⏱️ 13-15 minutes, until the tops start to get golden.
14
While baking, make the frosting. Place cream cheese and melted butter in a small bowl. The cream cheese needs to be soft enough to stir into the butter. You can microwave it for a few seconds if it’s not soft enough. Whisk the cream cheese and butter together, then whisk in powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Frost rolls, serve warm.
15
The rolls will last at room temperature for 2-3 days. The frosting can also stay on the counter for the same amount of time, or you can refrigerate it.
