A Brief History of the Recipe

Cinnamon rolls have a long-standing tradition, rooted in various cultures, cherished for their warm and comforting aroma. What makes this recipe special is the perfect combination of fluffy dough and sweet filling, which pairs beautifully with the creamy glaze.

Necessary Ingredients

*For the dough:*
- 25 g fresh yeast
- 50 g sugar
- 240 ml warm milk
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 50 g soft butter
- Flour as needed (approximately 500 g)

*For the filling:*
- 80 g soft butter
- 50 g sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

*For the glaze:*
- 100 g cream cheese
- 100 g soft butter
- 50 g powdered sugar

Step by Step for Perfect Rolls

1. Dissolving the yeast
In a small bowl, add fresh yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Pour in a little warm milk (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast) and stir gently. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it sit in a warm place for 10-15 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy and forms bubbles on the surface.

2. Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, combine the egg, sugar, salt, remaining soft butter, and the rest of the warm milk. Add the yeast mixture and mix well. Start gradually incorporating the flour until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.

3. Rising the dough
Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

4. Preparing the filling
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mix the soft butter with sugar and cinnamon until you achieve a smooth paste.

5. Forming the rolls
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular sheet about 1 cm thick. Spread the butter, sugar, and cinnamon filling over the sheet, leaving a 1 cm border on each side. Carefully roll the dough lengthwise to form a tight log. Cut the log into slices of 2-3 cm.

6. Baking the rolls
Place the rolls in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them to expand. Cover the tray with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they are golden and fluffy.

7. Preparing the glaze
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the soft butter and powdered sugar until you achieve a fluffy and smooth mixture.

8. Finalizing
When the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Spread the glaze over the rolls while they are still warm, so it melts slightly and seeps into every corner of the rolls.

Practical Tips

- Choose ingredients carefully: Use quality butter, as it contributes to the texture and flavor of the rolls. Also, freshly ground cinnamon offers a more intense taste.
- For an extra flavor: You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the cinnamon filling for a crunchy and sweet touch.
- Vegan option: You can replace the butter with vegan butter and use plant-based milk, and for the glaze, you can opt for a plant-based cream cheese.
- Serving: These rolls are delicious warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. You can pair them with a cup of aromatic coffee or tea for a moment of indulgence.
