Directions
-
-
Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, both sugars, yeast, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, combine milk, vanilla and sour cream. Microwave for 1 minute, or until scalding (about 120°F). Add butter; stir until butter is melted. Add egg; whisk until combined.
-
Attach dough hook to your stand mixer; combine dry and wet ingredients on low until dough ball forms.
-
On a floured surface, knead dough for about 3- 5 minutes, dough should spring back when poked lightly.
-
Transfer dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover; allow dough to rise in a warm area for 3-4 hours, dough should double in size.
-
Filling: In a small bowl, combine both sugars and cinnamon; set aside. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a rectangle shape. Spread butter on dough and sprinkle generously of the sugar mixture. Roll the side of the dough across from the to create a spiral starting from the opposite ends of the unbuttered strip.
-
Cut dough into 1/2 inch size (I like using floss for even cuts). Place dough on oiled baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator; allow dough to do a final rise for 1 hour in a warm area.
-
Preheat oven at 350°F. Bake for 25-29 minutes.
-
Glaze: Place cream cheese, butter, vanilla, salt, lemon juice and a tablespoon of milk in a food processor; beat until smooth. Add sugar; beat until combined. Drizzle glaze on cinnamon rolls, as desired.
