Ingredients
FOR THE DOUGH:
list of 7 items
• 2 ¾ cups bread flour, or more as needed (you can sub with all-purpose flour)
• 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant or rapid-rise yeast
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup whole milk
• ¼ cup shortening
• 1 large egg
list end
FOR THE FILLING:
list of 3 items
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup salted butter, softened at room temperature
list end
FOR THE GLAZE:
list of 4 items
• 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
list end
Instructions
FOR THE DOUGH:
list of 4 items
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Set aside.
2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine milk and shortening. Warm in 5-second increments in the microwave (or on the stovetop), just until the mixture
is lukewarm (about 110 degrees F) and the shortening is melted. If the liquid gets hotter than 110 degrees F, just let it sit on the counter for a few
minutes to cool. You want it to feel like warm bath water.
3. Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir. Add the egg; mix until a soft dough comes together. Add more flour (1 tablespoons at a
time), if necessary, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. It should be slightly sticky, but not sticking to the sides and bottom of the
bowl. Knead for 5 minutes.
4. Transfer dough to a large greased bowl; turn the dough so that it’s greased on all sides. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm
spot until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
list end
FOR THE FILLING:
list of 4 items
1. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Roll dough into a long rectangular shape about 8 inches x 14 inches. Spread softened butter on top. Sprinkle
with the brown sugar mixture. Starting on one of the long sides, roll up the dough into a tight cylinder; pinch lightly to seal the seam. Slice into 8-10
even rounds. Transfer the pieces, cut-side up, to a greased 9-inch round cake pan or 9-inch square baking dish.
3. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until puffy, about 1 hour. Remove cover.
4. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 25-35 minutes, until the buns are a deep golden brown and the insides are cooked through. If the tops start to get too
dark before the dough is fully cooked, tent loosely with foil. Transfer to a wire cooling rack; prepare glaze.
list end
FOR THE GLAZE:
list of 1 items
1. Use a whisk or electric mixer to combine all of the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. It should be quite thick. Spread about ½ cup of
the glaze on top of the warm buns. Let the buns cool for about 10 more minutes. Spread the remaining glaze on the warm buns and serve.

Notes
If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can prepare the dough by hand. Simply use a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients as instructed, then knead the dough
by hand on a well-floured surface for 5 minutes.To prepare the dough in advance, arrange the cinnamon rolls in the pan, but do not allow them to rise for
the second time. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove the dish from the oven and rest in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes. Remove cover
and bake according to the recipe instructions.
