Instructions
Creating Valentine Brioche Cinnamon Rolls is a delightful experience when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Make the Brioche Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the warmed milk and eggs to the dry mixture. Mix until combined.
3. Incorporate Butter: Gradually add the softened butter, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead for about 5-10 minutes until elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
6. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
7. Spread Butter: Evenly spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough.
8. Add Cinnamon Filling: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
9. Roll Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal.
10. Slice Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish.
11. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
12. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake Rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
14. Prepare Cream Cheese Glaze: While the rolls bake, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Beat until smooth. Add milk to reach desired consistency.
15. Glaze Rolls: Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for about 15 minutes before drizzling the cream cheese glaze over the top.
