Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crushed cookies (like Oreos)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the dough: In a small bowl, combine lukewarm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar; let sit until foamy. In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- 2. Knead: On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth (about 7 minutes). If sticky, add flour sparingly.
- 3. Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl; cover with a towel and let rise in a warm space for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- 4. Roll it out: Punch down the dough and roll into a rectangle (1/2 inch thick). Spread softened cream cheese evenly on top and sprinkle with crushed cookies.
- 5. Shape: Roll tightly from one edge to form a log; slice into even pieces using dental floss or a sharp knife.
- 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish; let rise again for 30 minutes. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
