These aren’t fairly a match for Drummond’s rolls — my measurements are somewhat completely different, there’s no baking powder or baking soda, they’re rather less candy, and I’ve examined this with completely different yeasts and nondairy merchandise. (I simply needed to warn in case you’re loyal to the world-famous recipe.)
Whereas dough rises, get all the pieces else prepared: Reduce butter or margarine into cubes and place on a plate so it’s softened by the point the dough has risen. Mix darkish brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and put aside. Put together your baking pan(s), both one 9×13-inch pan, 2 9-inch spherical cake pans, or 2 8-inch sq. cake pans by coating the perimeters and corners with butter or nonstick spray. Line the underside of every pan with a bit of parchment.
Assemble rolls: As soon as dough has doubled, stir in remaining 1/2 cup (65 grams) flour and switch dough out onto a well-floured counter. Flour the highest of the dough and roll into a big rectangle, about 20 inches broad (the aspect in entrance of you) and as deep as you possibly can comfortably stretch it, retaining it about 1/2-inch thick.
Unfold dough with softened butter. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar combination. Roll the dough away from you into a good coil. I discover that the dough all the time stretches longer as I roll it but when yours hasn’t, you possibly can gently stretch it nearer to a 24″ log.
Reduce log into 12 or 16 even segments. 12 will make basic, generously-sized buns, as proven right here. 16 will make extra of a muffin-sized bun, and for some motive, smaller pans all the time look higher to me with 8 buns in every.
In the event you’re baking the buns now: Let buns relaxation at room temperature for half-hour to complete proofing. Warmth oven to 350°F.
In the event you’re baking the buns tomorrow morning: Calmly coat a bit (or items) of plastic with nonstick spray, cowl your pan(s), and switch them to the fridge to sit back in a single day. You possibly can bake them immediately from the fridge within the morning.
Bake the buns: For 25 minutes, or till golden at edges and a toothpick inserted into the middle of some buns will come out with cinnamon goo on it, however not stretchy, raw dough.
Whereas the buns bake, make your glaze: In a big bowl, whisk collectively the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla till clean.
End and eat: When buns come out of the oven, cool on a rack for five minutes, then spoon cream cheese glaze on every. Eat instantly, which I hope no person was ready for my permission to do.
