Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon-Walnut Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
2. Spread the softened butter over a clean surface.
3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered surface.
4. Add the finely chopped walnuts evenly on top.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

1. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
2. Spread the Filling: Evenly distribute the cinnamon-walnut filling over the dough.
3. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
4. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
3. Cool Slightly: Let the rolls cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before frosting.

Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

1. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until creamy.
3. If the frosting is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6: Frost and Serve

1. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.
2. Serve immediately and enjoy the soft, fluffy, and gooey goodness!

Tips for Success

• Use Warm Milk: Make sure your milk is around 110°F to activate the yeast properly.
• Knead Well: Kneading the dough ensures a fluffy texture.
• Don’t Overbake: Check the rolls around the 25-minute mark to prevent them from drying out.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the rolls the night before and let them rise in the fridge overnight, then bake in the morning.
