Ingredients

Servings

• 500 gram Dough
• 240 milliliter Milk
• 75 gram Butter
• 75 gram Granulated Sugar
• 10 gram Active Dry Yeast
• 2 unit Eggs
• 600 gram All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoon Cinnamon
• 150 gram Brown Sugar
• 100 gram Cream Cheese
• 100 gram Powdered Sugar
• 4 tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk mixture, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates.
3. Add the eggs and mix well. Gradually add the flour and salt, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
4. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish.
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle shape.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
8. Starting from one end, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
9. Place the cinnamon buns in the greased baking dish and let them rest for 30 minutes.
10. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. While the buns are baking, prepare the cream cheese and maple glaze. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
12. Once the buns are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the cream cheese and maple glaze over the warm buns.
13. Serve and enjoy!
