Almond Cinnamon Rolls

Delicious, gooey, fluffy, and pillowy, these Almond Cinnamon Rolls will make a great breakfast Item. These rolls are my Cinnabon Recipe with an almond twist.

About These Almond Cinnamon Rolls

• This recipe is yeast-based, and that is what makes these rolls extra fluffy and pillowy.
• This recipe calls for Instant Yeast, which acts faster than active Yeast. After making the dough, we must allow it to rise and prove twice. The first time is for one hour, and the second for one and a half hours.
• The ingredients include Flour, Eggs, Milk, and Butter. We also need Salt and Sugar to activate the Yeast.
• The filling for the plain Cinnabon includes Butter, Brown sugar, Cinnamon, and Cardamom. However, the filling for these Almond Cinnamon Rolls also contains one extra component.
• We need to make a filling called FRANGIPANE  or Almond Cream. Frangipane is a filling that has the consistency of paste and requires a few of your pantry ingredients. Frangipane is a creamy paste in many French pastries, such as Almond Croissants or Bakewell cakes. All we need to make the Frangipane is Butter, Sugar, All-purpose Flour, Almond Flour, Egg, Vanilla Paste, and Almond Extract.

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

• First, we need to preheat the oven to 200F and turn it off; we need to use the warm range to let the dough proof.
• Mix in the yeast, sugar, and salt in one cup of lukewarm milk. Mix well and set aside to bloom for 5-10 minutes.
• Using a hook attachment, mix all the ingredients for a good ten minutes. This kneading time activates the yeast and raises the dough.
• The dough starts forming into a ball and pulling from the sides of the bowl.
• Cover the dough, and place the bowl in the oven. Leave the door open for 10 minutes, then close the oven door and let the dough rest for one hour. By the end of the hour, the dough should be double the size.
• Lightly dust a clean surface with flour, and roll the dough into a rectangle about 12X20 inches.

• Make the Frangipane . Rub the surface with melted butter, then spread a layer of Frangipane all over the butter. Use an offset spatula to facilitate the work. Store the remaining Frangipane in an air-tight container to use in other baking, such as Simple And Delicious Almond Croissant Blondies
• Mix the cinnamon, cardamom, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the surface with this mixture.
• Start rolling the dough tightly from the longer side. Now, we have a long log. Wet your fingertips to seal the free edge of the log.

CUT THE ROLLS

• Use a serrated knife or unflavored Floss to cut it into rolls 1-½ inches thick. We will have about 12 to 14 rolls. Place them in the pan or ceramic dish you are baking them in.
• Cover the rolls and let them proof for 45 minutes. Again, they should rise and fill the pan and the gaps between them.
• Sprinkle their top with Silvered Almond. Bake them and move on to making the frosting.

• Leave the cream cheese out of the fridge for several hours beforehand. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and almond extract to the softened cream cheese and butter until well mixed.
• Next, spread half of the frosting over the buns while still hot. Let them cool down, and top them with the remaining frosting.
• Cover the top with Silvered Almonds.
