Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Cream cheese
• 1 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Milk (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm milk, softened butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon to create the filling.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12x16-inch rectangle on a floured surface.

Step 8

Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.

Step 10

Cut the log into 12 equal slices and arrange them in the prepared baking dish, cut side up.

Step 11

Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

Step 12

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow them to cool slightly in the pan.

Step 13

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 14

Spread the cream cheese icing over the warm rolls so it melts slightly and creates that signature gooey texture.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Gooey Rolls!
