Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon chai spice mix
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar for caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup butter for caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup heavy cream for caramel sauce
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm, then stir in yeast and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread melted butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar, chai spice mix, and cinnamon. Roll tightly and cut into 12 rolls.
- For the caramel sauce, melt butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar and heavy cream, and whisk until smooth. Pour into a greased baking dish, placing the rolls on top.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- For frosting, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
Serve warm, drizzled with cream cheese frosting. Pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. Adjust chai spice to taste.
