How To Make Turkuaz Kitchen Cinnamon Rolls

1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour and yeast.
2. Melt butter and mix with milk: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and let it cool until it reaches room temperature.
3. Add eggs: Once the mixture is at room temperature, add the eggs to the milk mixture and beat.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and knead for about 10-15 minutes by stand mixer or hand until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Then cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for 60-75 minutes until it rises twice.
5. Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
6. Roll out the dough: Take the fermented dough on the counter and roll the dough into a rectangle of 14×8 inch size (around 1/4 inch thickness).
7. Spread filling on dough: Spread the melted butter on it and then spread the powdered cinnamon mixture.
8. Roll and cut the dough: Starting from the long end, roll the dough down to the bottom edge. Cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch slices. Place them on a baking sheet or iron-cast skillet.
9. Let the rolls rise: Cover your ready-made buns with plastic wrap and let them rest for at least 1-2 hours. If you have time, you can ferment them in the refrigerator overnight for a better result.
10. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
11. Bake the rolls: Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
12. Make the frosting: Prepare the frosting by mixing cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar. Spread the frosting on the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.

Recipe Tips

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature before starting. This helps the dough mix evenly.
• Proper Kneading: Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes by hand or stand mixer.
• Perfect Rise: Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area. Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
• Even Filling: Spread the filling evenly to ensure every bite has a consistent flavor.
• Frosting Application: Spread the frosting on the rolls while they are still warm for a delicious melt.
