Easy Overnight Cinnamon Roll Recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1-2 tbsp milk, if needed for consistency

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. Add melted and cooled butter, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
3. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a Baking Steel Dough Container or greased bowl, cover with the Baking Steel Dough Container lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight (8-12 hours).
5. The next morning, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 18x12-inch rectangle.
7. Spread softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) evenly over the butter.
8. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal.
9. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
10. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a Baking Steel lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
12. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
13. Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
