- Measuring cups and spoons
- 9×13 inch baking pan
- Rolling Pin
- Small bowl for streusel
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup milk room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 package about 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
Instructions
- Start by softening the butter in the milk. Add sugar, salt, cream cheese, and the egg, stirring everything together until smooth.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and leave it for about five minutes. You want it to get slightly foamy.
- Add three cups of flour little by little, mixing until the dough comes together. Lightly knead it until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot until it roughly doubles in size, about 30–40 minutes. Mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. Keep it nearby for later.
- Flatten the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle roughly 12 by 9 inches. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over it.
- Roll the dough from the long side and seal the edges. Place it seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch pan.
- Combine flour, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to make a crumbly topping. Scatter this over the rolled dough. Let the dough rise again in the pan for 15–20 minutes while heating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown on top. Check with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
