Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
For the Filling:
-
½ cup brown sugar, packed
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
-
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1–2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Greek yogurt to form a soft dough.
-
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10×12-inch rectangle.
-
Spread softened butter over dough and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
-
Roll dough tightly from one long side and pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 8 equal rolls.
-
Place rolls in the prepared pan, leaving space between each. Bake 18–22 minutes until lightly golden.
-
While baking, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Add milk gradually to reach a pourable glaze consistency.
-
Let rolls cool 5–10 minutes, then drizzle with cream cheese glaze and serve warm.
