Soft and Fluffy Cinnamon-Walnut Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy to activate the yeast.

Add eggs and melted butter, then gradually mix in the flour and salt until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Transfer to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.


2. Make the Filling

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Chop walnuts into small, even pieces.


3. Assemble the Rolls

Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a large rectangle.

Brush with melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture and walnuts.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.

Place rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between them.

Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.


4. Bake

Preheat the oven and bake until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.


5. Prepare the Frosting

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla extract. Add milk as needed for desired consistency.

Spread the frosting over warm rolls so it melts slightly for a glossy finish.
