These cinnamon swirl rolls are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, offering a rich and flavorful treat perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
Let the yeast mixture sit until it becomes frothy.
This step confirms that the yeast is active and ready to use.
Prepare the vanilla pudding mix according to package instructions.
Use a whisk to ensure the pudding mix is smooth and lump-free.
Add the softened butter, eggs, and salt to the pudding mixture and mix well.
Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated for a smooth dough.
Combine the yeast mixture with the pudding mixture.
Stir gently to avoid deflating the yeast mixture.
Gradually add the flour and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Knead on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
Cover with a damp cloth to maintain moisture during rising.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
Roll evenly to ensure consistent thickness.
Spread the softened butter over the dough.
Use a spatula for even spreading.
Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the buttered dough.
Spread evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into equal slices.
Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise until doubled.
Leave enough space between rolls for expansion.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Bake until the tops are golden brown for the best texture.
Prepare the glaze by mixing the softened butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Adjust the milk quantity for your desired glaze consistency.
Spread the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Glazing while warm allows it to seep into the rolls slightly.
Serve the cinnamon swirl rolls warm and enjoy.
Pair with a hot beverage for a comforting treat.
