Directions
- 1Combine in a large bowl the flour, sugar, instant yeast and salt.
- 2Heat milk in a small pot over the stove or in the microwave until quite warm. Add butter and stir until melted.
- 3Add vegetable oil and vanilla.
- 4Cool milk mixture to lukewarm. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add milk mixture.
- 5Add egg and water.
- 6Mix by hand or using stand mixer until the mixture forms a very soft, sticky dough.
- 7Knead 6-8 minutes using the dough hook attachment or by hand.
- 8Add 2-3 tablespoons of flour if the dough looks too much like a thick batter, but it should still be very sticky.
- 9If the dough is very dry and easy to handle, add more water to make it sticky. Knead until it feels very smooth.
- 10Cover well with plastic wrap and proof for 1½ - 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
- 11Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the filling.
- 12Roll out the dough into a rectangle that measures 15x10 inches. Spread the soft butter over entire surface of the dough, then sprinkle on the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- 13Starting from long edge closest to you, roll dough as tightly as you can. When you reach the end, pinch the seam very well to seal.
- 14Using a sharp knife or a piece of string, cut the roll into 8-12 buns.
- 15Arrange evenly in a buttered parchment lined 14 x 8 inch pan and cover with plastic.
- 16Allow to rise in a warm place for another 45-60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- 17Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Bake rolls for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked in the middles.
- 18Cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- 19Slowly add the powdered sugar, a couple of tablespoons at a time, creaming well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat until smooth.
- 20Frost cinnamon rolls while they are still slightly warm but not too hot.
