Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup water
- 3 1/2 cup flour
- 4 eggs, beaten to break yolks and mix
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 2 tbsp Hiç Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Espresso Cream Cheese:
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 2 espresso, warm
Filling:
- 1/4 cup butter softened to spreading consistency
- 1 cup brown sugar or more
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
-
Place yeast, sugar and flour in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix with a whisk or a wooden spoon.
-
Let rest until the mixture bubbles.
-
Add the eggs and mix on low speed to blend.
-
Add the flour, a tablespoon at a time, adding enough flour until it is blended with the eggs.
-
Add the butter and continue mixing, stopping a few times to scrape the dough from the sides of the bowl towards the center. Only add as much flour as it needs, not too much.
-
Knead for 5 minutes until dough holds together and gathers around the dough hook.
-
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter and gather into a ball.
-
Place the dough in a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubles in size.
-
When the dough is ready, roll it out into a rectangle about 10X16″ or so.
-
Brush the rectangle with softened butter and cover with brown sugar. Sprinkle over the cinnamon.
-
Roll the rectangle from the long end fairly tightly, stretching it a bit as you roll.
-
Cut the roll into about 8-10 slices.
-
Line a baking pan with parchment and coat with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
-
Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the pan fairly close together.
-
Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled.
-
Bake in a preheated 375F oven until puffed and baked through, about 25 minutes.
-
Remove and let cool.
