Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
In the past, my attempts at making bread often ended up like steamed buns. The process of using yeast, kneading, and fermenting is super important. This is the first time I patiently made successful and delicious bread!
This recipe is a combination of all the recipes I found, and it was a success on the first try. It's super delicious!
Tips:
1. You can substitute 300g of all-purpose flour for the cake flour and bread flour.
2. You can substitute 3g of dry yeast for 4.5g of instant yeast (let the dry yeast sit in warm milk for five minutes before adding it to the other ingredients).

- 1
Mix the flour, yeast, egg, salt, and 1/2 cup milk (about 120g) into a dough, then gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons milk (about 30g). Once combined, add the butter and knead for 10-15 minutes until you can stretch the dough into a smooth, thin film.
- 2
Shape the dough into a ball with the seam side down, place it in a greased bowl, spray the surface with water, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
- 3
While the dough is rising, roast the walnuts at 320°F (160°C) for 7-8 minutes, then crush them slightly. Mix with cinnamon and sugar and set aside. The flavor of cinnamon is quite unique, so adjust the amount to your liking. If you don't have walnuts, you can use store-bought mixed nuts as a substitute. I've also used store-bought honey-glazed cashews before, which saved a step and tasted great!
- 4
Punch down the risen dough to release air, reshape it into a ball, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- 5
Sprinkle some flour on the table, roll the dough into a rectangle, spread a layer of butter evenly, and sprinkle with the prepared nuts (reserve some for decoration). Roll it up tightly and seal the edge. Cut into nine equal pieces.
- 6
Place the dough pieces on a buttered baking sheet, spaced 1/2 to 3/4 inch apart, spray with water, and let them rise in the oven for 60 minutes.
- 7
20 minutes before the rising is complete, preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Sprinkle the remaining nuts on the risen dough and brush with egg wash. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and delicious.
- 8
Cream Cheese Frosting: Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons milk (about 10g), and vanilla extract until smooth and thick. Drizzle over the cinnamon rolls. Alternatively, you can make a maple syrup glaze by mixing maple syrup with a little water and brushing it on.
