Iris's Cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 200 ml Milk
  • 50 g Butter
  • 450 g Flour, possibly a little more if needed
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 70 g Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cube fresh yeast

For the filling:
  • 50 g butter, soft
  • 130 g Sugar, brown
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
For the icing:
  • 100 g Cream cheese
  • 30 g Butter
  • 100 g powdered sugar, sifted
  • 4 drops Vanilla essence.
Putting it all together:

Heat the milk and butter briefly until the butter has melted. 

Add in 450 g of flour, salt, sugar, and egg in a bowl. 

Make a well in the flour and crumble in the yeast. 

Pour in the milk and knead everything from the well outwards into a smooth dough.  If the dough is still too sticky, gradually add only enough flour until it is easy to work with. 

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape and brush with the butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top, leaving no edge. Roll up from the long side and cut into 2 - 3 cm thick slices. Place in a greased dish (e.g. a baking dish) with the cut side down and cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Mix all the ingredients for the glaze. If it seems a little too thick, add a little milk - but it should not become too runny. Of course, you can also make a normal glaze of milk and powdered sugar if you like, but this one gives the recipe a special kick.

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 180 °C top/bottom heat for about 15 - 20 minutes. Spread the glaze on the warm rolls and serve.

Personally, I like them best warm, but you can also eat them cold.
