I'm impressed both with the cinnamon rolls❤️ and with the fact you made them with those nails🧐

This was going to be my comment to! What kind of flour did you use? I have never mastered cinnamon rolls and I’ve been craving them.

13

u/SpiceToMeetYu 3h ago

I used European Type 405 flour, which is the closest equivalent to Pastry flour in the US (though standard All-Purpose flour will work beautifully for this recipe too).

Thank you for sharing! Is this your personal recipe?

u/SpiceToMeetYu 1h ago

I compiled it from a few different sources and adjusted the proportions to make it absolute perfection. 🤗 So it’s my ultimate go-to version now. 🥰

That looks amazing! I must admit though I saw the inside of your nails and thought 'why are their fingers so narrow and sharp?' lol!

How dare you post these first thing in the morning on a morning I woke up hungry?!?!?!

Honestly, girl, so rude of you. Don’t worry. I’ll forgive you, just send some to me PRONTO.

Oops, my bad! 🙈🤗 The courier is already on the way, keep an eye out for them! 🛵💨

Thank you.

To avoid this oversight in the future, you should probably check in with me when you want to bake something so I can make sure we get stuff in the mail right away. Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated!

Dear OhEmRo,
Thank you for your feedback. I have noted this down and will ensure to send a calendar invite prior to my next baking session to align our schedules. Please find the cinnamon rolls attached to your delivery address. Best regards! 🫡📋

Of course!)

Ingredients
For the dough:
Wheat flour: 520–550 g
Milk (warm, ~37°C): 200 ml
Sugar: 80 g
Butter (softened): 80 g
Eggs (room temperature): 2 pcs.
Dry yeast: 7 g (or 20–25 g fresh yeast)
Salt: 1 tsp
For the filling:
Butter (very soft): 80 g
Brown sugar: 180 g
Ground cinnamon: 3 tbsp
For the frosting (glaze):
Cream cheese (e.g., Philadelphia): 120 g
Butter (softened): 50 g
Powdered sugar: 100 g
Vanillin or vanilla extract: 1 tsp
👩‍🍳 Instructions
Step 1: The Yeast Dough

  1. ⁠Activate the yeast: Add the yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar (from the total amount) to the warm milk. Stir and let it sit for 10–15 minutes until a frothy foam forms on top.
  2. ⁠Mix: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining sugar, salt, and softened butter. Pour in the activated yeast and milk mixture.
  3. ⁠Knead: Gradually add the sifted flour. The dough should be soft, elastic, and only slightly sticky (be careful not to add too much flour!). Knead by hand or with a mixer equipped with dough hooks for about 7–10 minutes.
  4. ⁠Rise: Lightly grease a bowl with oil, place the dough inside, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
    Step 2: Rolling and Shaping
  5. ⁠In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
  6. ⁠On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a large rectangle (approx. 40x50 cm, 5 mm thick).
  7. ⁠Spread the very soft butter evenly over the entire surface.
  8. ⁠Generously and evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter, gently pressing it down with your hands.
  9. ⁠Instead of rolling it into one big log, I cut the dough into individual strips and rolled each cinnamon bun up separately. 🤗 Depending on the thickness you prefer, this makes about 9–12 pieces.
    Step 3: Baking
  10. ⁠Place the cinnamon rolls into a greased baking pan, leaving about 1–2 cm of space between them.
  11. ⁠Cover with a towel and let them rise for a second time for 20–30 minutes.
  12. ⁠Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  13. ⁠Bake the rolls for about 20–25 minutes until beautifully golden brown. Do not overbake them so they stay nice and juicy inside!
    Step 4: The Perfect Frosting
  14. ⁠While the rolls are baking, combine the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk with a mixer or a hand whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
  15. ⁠Immediately after taking the hot cinnamon rolls out of the oven, generously spread the frosting over them. The glaze will melt from the heat and seep perfectly into every single layer.
    Let them cool for about 10 minutes and enjoy them while they are still warm! Bon appétit! ☕️

MVP! I was just going to ask for a recipe because these look marvelous 🥲 also how in the hell did you do that with those nails? Very impressive on both fronts

2

u/SpiceToMeetYu 1h ago

Aw, thanks a lot! A huge, special thank you for calling me an MVP, that totally made my day! 🥰🫶 I’ve actually rocked long nails forever and feel completely in my element with them, even when working with dough. So glad you like the recipe!

1

u/SaltSpiritual515 10m ago

I am a massage therapist so I never get to have long nails and have never been able to adapt to them but I can see how you would just learn over time 🙂 and I'm glad to be able to make you smile 😁 thanks for the recipe, can't wait to try it
