Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk ((110-120F) (240mL))
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar ((63g))
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast ((.25oz/7g packet))
- 4⅔ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting (560g))
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar ((73g))
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted (113g))
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature (85g))
- ½ cup light brown sugar ((110g))
- 1½ tablespoons cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature (113g))
- 2 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar ((240g))
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Method
- Add 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, salt, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and instant yeast into a bowl and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, egg, and 6 tablespoons of room temperature unsalted butter.
- Warm the milk mixture to about 110°F (43°C).
- Pour the warm liquid into the dry ingredients and mix with a dough hook on low speed until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough until it is tacky but not sticky, about 3 hours for it to rise and double in size.
- Punch down the dough to release air bubbles, then turn out onto a floured surface.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle, about as thin as possible, with some nutmeg visible in the dough.
- Spread 4 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle with a mixture of light brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
- Roll the dough into a log and cut into individual cinnamon rolls.
- Arrange the rolls in a baking dish and let them rise overnight or until puffed up.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Mix cream cheese, butter, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar to make the glaze.
- Add milk to the glaze until desired consistency is reached.
- Spread the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
