Ingredients List
- 3/4 cup whole milk warmed (about 110˚F)
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons active-dry yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted Organic Valley butter, softened
- 1 large egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
- 3 ½ to 4 cups bread flour
- filling:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, optional
- 1/2 cup honey
- turbinado sugar
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Lightly grease a 12 count muffin tin and set aside.
2. Pour milk and half of sugar into a mixing bowl and stir together.
3. Sprinkle yeast over milk and sugar and allow mixture to sit for 4 to 5 minutes (yeast should begin to bubble and foam).
4. Stir in remaining sugar, salt, butter, and egg. Begin adding flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition.
5. Continue to add the flour until soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
6. Dump mixture onto a clean and lightly floured surface and knead dough for 5 to 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time as needed.
7. Once smooth dough has formed, place dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel and place in a warm area until dough has doubled in size. About 1 hour.
8. For filling: Whisk all ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until a paste form. Set aside.
9. To assemble: Once dough has doubled in size, punch down the center and turn onto a clean and lightly floured surface. Roll dough out into a 12”x 19” rectangle and about 1/4″ thick and spread surface with an even layer of the brown sugar and butter paste. Tightly and evenly roll rectangle from one end to the other and gently pinch the seam shut. Place cinnamon roll log seam side down and cut into 10 to 12 even cinnamon rolls.
10. Lightly grease a muffin tin and place a cinnamon roll into each muffin well. Loosely cover with a clean towel and store in a warm place until cinnamon rolls double in size, about 30 minutes.
11. Uncover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Then remove cinnamon rolls from oven and cool for 15 minutes.
12. Remove cinnamon rolls from muffin tin and transfer to a cooling rack.
13. In a small bowl combine honey and 2 tablespoons warm water. Sprinkle a generous amount of turbinado sugar into a shallow baking dish.
14. Brush honey mixture over the sides and top of each cinnamon roll, then roll each one into the turbinado sugar until well coated (if not well coated the cinnamon rolls can easily burn when ‘brûléeing’).
15. Using a brûlée torch, carefully brulee the sides and top of each roll until a nice, caramelized crust develops.
16. Allow cinnamon rolls to cool for a couple minutes before serving.
