Instructions
Make the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
- Add the melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or knead by hand.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon.
Assemble the Cinnabons:
- Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 40x30 cm (16x12 inches).
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture and chocolate chips over the buttered dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly from the longer side, creating a log.
- Cut the dough log into 12 equal slices.
Bake:
- Place the slices in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake the Cinnabons for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- While the Cinnabons are baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
Serve:
- Once the Cinnabons are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes.
- Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm Cinnabons.
