Ingredients:

For the Dough:

- 5 cups flour

- 1 tablespoon instant yeast

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/3 cup sugar

- 2/3 cup warm milk

- 2 tablespoons sour cream

- 1/2 cup melted salted butter

For the Topping:

- Half a block of softened cream cheese

- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1 tablespoon vanilla

Instructions:

To prepare the dough, mix the milk, yeast, sour cream, and sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Add melted salted butter and 4 cups of flour and mix well. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour. After an hour, knead the dough on a floured surface with the remaining 1 cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.



Knead for 10 minutes. To prepare the cinnamon filling, mix one cup of softened salted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon (I love cinnamon so I used 2 tablespoons). To prepare the sugar mixture: blend cream cheese, butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar in a mixer. Roll out the dough and spread the mixture over it. Roll the dough tightly and cut using a thread or knife. Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and let them rest for 15 minutes. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown. Let them cool for 10-15 minutes before adding the sugar mixture and enjoy the most delicious cinnamon rolls.
