My friend Alissa recently thought of doing monthly potluck brunches with our friends commencing this new year. I've been wanting to make cinnamon rolls for a while but never quite got the motivation because of how long the preparation takes, but these turned out so much more wholesome than store-bought. I just wish I used brown sugar for the filling instead of regular sugar. I started off using the Betty Crocker recipe then realized I didn't like it and switched over to the Epicurious one that I recommend. Some reviewers mentioned adding a few drops of lemon juice to the cream cheese glaze — I totally forgot to do that but that will be in my plan for next time. If you try this recipe out, do let me know! I know making dough and recipes from scratch can be a daunting task but I think this recipe is quite fool-proof. Keep in mind that this does take a full 3 hours (love my cat for keeping me company).
Yields 18 servings. (All in different glass pans)
