Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 package)
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ cup colorful sprinkles
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in softened butter and beaten egg until combined.
  4. Knead Dough: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Let it Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1 hour).
  6. Create Filling: Mix sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl.
  7. Shape Rolls: Roll out risen dough into a rectangle (12×18 inches), spread the filling evenly, and sprinkle with funfetti.
  8. Curl & Cut: Roll up tightly from one edge, slice into pieces (1-1½ inches thick).
  9. Bake: Place rolls on greased baking pans; let them rise for an additional 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Frost & Serve: Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla; frost rolls after they cool slightly.
