Tips: I sprinkle extra sugar, cinnamon and butter on the tops of the "end" rolls, since they never get as much filling. | |
1 and 1/4 cups | milk |
4 tablespoons | butter, at room temperature |
1/2 cup | sugar |
1 and 1/2 teaspoons | salt |
2 and 1/4 teaspoon | yeast (I use SAF) |
3 cups | all purpose flour |
For Filling: | |
8 tablespoons | softened butter |
3 teaspoons | cinnamon |
2/3 cup | packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup | granulated sugar |
Frosting: | |
4 ounces | cream cheese, softened |
1 tablespoons | butter, softened |
2 cups | powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon | maple extract |
In a small bowl, heat butter and milk in microwave for about 30 seconds. Test milk with your finger to make sure it is not too hot. Pour mixture into free standing mixer (or mixing bowl) and mix in sugar. Add salt, yeast, and flour. Knead dough by hand or in mixer on medium speed for about 6 minutes. (The dough is going to be very sticky. You can add a little more flour here-about 1/4 cup, but the stickier you keep it, the better the rolls will be. The dough will be less sticky after it has risen.) Shape dough into ball (if you can-if not just squish it down to the bottom of the bowl) and place in buttered bowl and cover lightly with saran wrap. Allow to rise, in warm, draft free place for about 1 andd 1/2 hours, or until doubled. Lightly butter two 9 by 13 inch baking dishes. Divide dough into two equal parts. Coat you work surface with a generous dusting of flour. Roll out each dough piece into 12 inch by 8 inch rectangles. Spread each rectangle (leaving a 1/2 inch border) with 4 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugars, dividing evenly. Pat sugars into dough lightly with your hands. Roll up dough tightly, pinching the seams to make a good seal. Cut each dough roll into 10-12 individual rolls, making 20-24 total rolls. Place rolls in prepared baking dishes and cover lightly with saran wrap, allowint to rise an additional 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let stand for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare frosting by combining cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and extract to make a very thick icing. Frost hot rolls and serve.
