Imagine waking up to the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, wafting through the air and wrapping you in a blanket of sweet, comforting scent. Now take it up a notch by adding a divine drizzle of homemade salted caramel. These Salted Caramel Cinnamon Rolls are the ultimate treat for any occasion. Each roll is packed with the perfect blend of cinnamon and brown sugar, and finished with a gooey caramel topping that adds just the right amount of salty sweetness.
In a small bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, either by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 16x12 inches.
Spread softened butter over the dough, leaving a small border, then sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seams to seal and cut into 12 equal rolls using dental floss or a sharp knife.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and allow to rise again until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour heavy cream over the risen rolls to keep them soft and gooey, then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls bake, prepare the salted caramel by melting soft caramels in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in heavy cream and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.
Once the rolls are done, let them cool slightly before drizzling with your homemade salted caramel sauce.
Serve warm, allowing everyone to indulge in their sumptuous, sticky goodness.
