Milk Bread Cinnamon Rolls

Do you know those recipe blogs in which the authors write down their entire life story before finally posting the recipe?

That's definitely not what this blog is supposed to be - but I would like to say before this recipe that this was the first time I could say about homemade cinnamon rolls: Wow, I would sell them in my (hypothetical) cafe haha. Well, I'll say it up front - the secret is to pour milk next to the cinnamon rolls halfway through and all the way through the baking time. That's the only way to give them that incredible juiciness.

Milk Bread Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

    • Dough for 6 large cinnamon rolls:
    • 265ml milk (lukewarm)
    • 1 pinch of salt
    • 0.5 cube of yeast (21g) or a bag of dry yeast (7g)
    • 600g flour
    • 80g sugar (alternative)
    • 100g soft butter
    • 2 eggs
    • Filling:
    • 120g soft butter
    • 200g brown sugar
    • 15g cinnamon
    • 1 Tonka bean (grated)
    • 2g nutmeg
    • 5g cardamom
    • Miscellaneous:
    • 150ml milk (set aside)
    • Frosting:
    • 85 g cream cheese (soft)
    • 14 g unsalted butter (soft)
    • 120 g powdered sugar
    • A dash of vanilla paste or extract
    •  

    Instructions

    Briefly dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm milk and mix with flour, salt and eggs in a blender. Finally, add the soft butter. Leave the dough to rise for 1 hour at room temperature. Then roll out to about 0.5 cm thick. Mix the ingredients for the filling, spread on the dough and roll up. I use a thread to cut them so that the cinnamon rolls keep their shape and are not pressed together.
    Place the snails in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 180 degrees. After about 10 minutes, pour about 75 ml of milk between the cinnamon snails and bake for a further 8 minutes. Pour another 75 ml of milk next to the snails and bake for a further 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
    During this time, the cinnamon rolls will absorb the remaining milk - so don't worry if the milk isn't completely absorbed right away.
