Cinnamon rolls are one of those magical confectionery treats that taste like they have a million ingredients, but in reality need very basic ingredients.
- Flour: All-purpose flour is perfect for making a pillowy soft, tender and lightly baked dough.
- Powdered sugar: A little powdered sugar is also needed to activate the yeast and slightly sweeten the dough.
- Dry yeast: Dry yeast is usually used, but plain yeast can also be used, just double the rising time.
- Butter: Butter is needed for both the cinnamon roll dough and the cream cheese icing. We recommend using unsalted butter, as this makes it easier to control how much salt to add to the recipe.
- Milk: Any type of milk can be used in this recipe, but for a very soft and buttery dough we recommend using whole milk.
- Eggs: Eggs will give our dough a soft texture.
- Cinnamon: For the cinnamon sugar filling we will of course need cinnamon as well. An extra teaspoon of cinnamon can also be added to the dough.
- Brown sugar: Brown sugar is the perfect caramel-soft sugar to use for the cinnamon sugar filling. Light or dark brown sugar can also be used.
- Cream cheese: You cannot talk about the taste of cinnamon rolls unless they are coated with cream cheese topping. For a nice creamy and smooth consistency, use room temperature cream cheese.
