Cinnamon Roll Dough

Combine all dry ingredients including butter into a stand mixer.

Whisk dry active yeast into the lukewarm milk. Set aside.

Combine eggs together.

With dough hook attachment, on low speed, begin to combine ingredients. Stream in the milk/yeast mixture. Followed by the eggs, increase speed to medium.

Once dough forms a smooth ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover in plastic wrap and let it rest until doubled in size. The dough can also rest overnight.

Once the dough has doubled in size, place on surface to begin rolling out the dough.

Roll out dough in between 1/4" to 1/2" thickness.

Cinnamon Roll Filling

Combine the dry ingredients, except the soften butter.

Spread the soften butter evenly throughout the dough.

Then generously sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture all over the dough.

Roll the cinnamon roll until you have created a dough log.

Once you have your dough log, cut eat piece with 1" in thickness with a serrated knife.

Place rolls in a baking sheet and let it rest until it has doubled.

Bake at 350F for 15 - 20 minutes until light golden.

Cream Cheese Filling

In a small bowl add the cream cheese, whisk until soften, add powdered sugar and combine. Pour in the milk and vanilla bean paste.
