step 1
First, make an at-home proofer (this keeps the dough warm and humid). To do this, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (90 degrees C) with a pan of water in the bottom. Let cook for 5 minutes then turn off the oven.
step 2
Grease a 13x9 backing dish, set aside.
step 3
In a mixing bowl combine 3 cups of All-Purpose Flour (3 cups), Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener (4 Tbsp), Salt (1 tsp), and Instant Dry Yeast (2 packets). Mix on low for 1-2 minutes.
step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the Whole Milk (1 cup) and Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp) in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or until warm (120-130 degrees F or 50 degrees C).
step 5
Pour ½ of the liquid into the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix on low.
step 6
Mix in the Egg (1). Add the remaining liquid to the mixture and mix on low until moist.
step 7
Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.
step 8
Turn the speed to low and add ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour (4 Tbsp). Mix until combined.
step 9
Scrape out the dough and place it on a surface floured with ½ cup All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup).
step 10
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes or until all the flour is combined in the dough.
step 11
Place kneaded dough in a grease bowl and let rest for 10 minutes. This is important to let the yeast hydrate.
step 12
Make the filling while the dough is resting. In a mixing bowl, combine Ground Cinnamon (1 Tbsp) and Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener (1/2 cup). Set aside.
step 13
After resting the dough for 10 minutes, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until you get a rectangle that is roughly 14x8 inches, flipping the dough over several times. Use your hands and a ruler to shape the dough into a nice rectangle.
step 14
Spread the Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp) evenly over the entire rectangle.
step 15
Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the entire rectangle.
step 16
Now roll up the dough tightly to make a 14-inch log.
step 17
Cut into 14 pieces and arrange in the greased pan.
step 18
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the homemade proofer for 60-90 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls double in size.
step 19
Remove the rolls from the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 20
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is golden on the edges.
step 21
Cool on a wire rack.
step 22
In a small bowl whisk together the Cream Cheese (4 Tbsp), Confectioners Sugar Replacement (1/3 cup), Pure Vanilla Extract (as needed), and Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp).
step 23
Spread on top of the cooled rolls. (or place into a sandwich bag, cut a corner, and drizzle the icing onto the cinnamon rolls).
step 24
Store in a sealed container to keep tender.
