Homemade Cinnamon Roll Muffins\u00a0\"\ud83c\udf65\"<\/span>
Ingredients
For the dough
4 cups all\u2011purpose flour, divided
\u2153 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2\u00bc teaspoons) rapid\u2011rise instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1\u00bd cups whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg, at room temperature
For the cinnamon sugar filling
\u00bc cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
\u2154 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the cream cheese glaze
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1\u00bd cups powdered sugar
2\u20133 tablespoons milk
Pinch of salt
\u00bc teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the dough

In a large mixing bowl (use a stand mixer with the dough hook or a hand mixer with beaters), combine 2 cups of the flour, the granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix briefly to combine.

In a microwave\u2011safe bowl, combine the milk and 6 tablespoons of butter. Microwave in 20\u2011second bursts until the mixture is warm (about 110\u00b0F) and the butter is mostly melted. Do not let it get hot\u2014if it is too hot, let it cool for a few minutes before proceeding.

Add the warm milk\u2011butter mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until completely combined, about 2 minutes.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add 1 more cup of flour and beat until combined. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.

Turn the dough out onto a well\u2011floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. To test, stretch a small piece of dough between your fingers\u2014it should stretch thin without tearing (this is called the windowpane test).

Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft\u2011free place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Make the filling and shape the rolls

While the dough rises, make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. Set aside.

Once the dough has doubled, punch it down. On a well\u2011floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 18 inches by 12 inches.

Spread the \u00bc cup of softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon\u2011sugar mixture evenly over the butter, then gently press the filling into the butter with your fingertips.

Starting from the long end (the 18\u2011inch side), roll the dough tightly away from you into a log. Pinch the seam along the bottom edge to seal.

Use unflavored dental floss or a very sharp serrated knife to cut the log into 12 even rolls (each about 1\u00bd inches thick).

Generously butter all 12 cups of a standard muffin tin (use softened or melted butter, applied with a pastry brush). Place one roll into each muffin cup, tucking the end of the swirl underneath so it is fully contained in the cup.

Cover the muffin tin loosely with a kitchen towel. Let the rolls rise for another hour, until doubled in size and puffed above the rims of the muffin cups.

Bake and glaze

Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F. Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, until they are golden brown and the centers are no longer doughy (a toothpick inserted into the center of a roll should come out clean).

Let the rolls cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.

While the rolls cool, make the glaze: In a microwave\u2011safe bowl, soften the 1 tablespoon of cream cheese by microwaving for 10\u201315 seconds. Add the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk.

Spoon the glaze evenly over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
