Cast Iron Skillet Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
For the dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s foamy.
- Add the melted butter, sugar, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Roll Out the Dough:
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 16×20 inches.
Prepare the Filling:
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together, then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.
Roll and Cut:
- Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.
Place in the Cast Iron Skillet:
- Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the skillet, leaving a little space between each one.
Second Rise:
- Cover the skillet with a clean cloth and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to reach your desired consistency.
Glaze and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven when the cinnamon rolls are done.
- Let them cool slightly, then drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls.
Serve the cast iron skillet cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy your delicious homemade treat!
