Ingredients

Cinnamon Buns

8 oz	Milk
2 1/4 oz packs	Active Dry Yeast
1/2 cup	Sugar
3	Phil’s Fresh Free-Range Organic Eggs
2 oz	Pureed carrot baby food
5-5 1/2 cup	Bread or all purpose flour
1/2 tsp	Kosher salt
1/4 cup	Unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup	Very soft butter
1/3 cup	Brown sugar
1/4 tsp	Ginger
1/2 tsp	Nutmeg
1 tbsp	Ground cinnamon
1/2 cup	2, hand grated, should total about 1-1 1/2 cups	Medium carrots

GLAZE

½ cup	Cream cheese, softened
¼ cup	Unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 cups	Confectioners sugar
1 tsp	Cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp	Milk

Directions

Step-1

In a microwave safe measuring cup, heat the milk for 30 seconds at a time until warmed

Step-2

Whisk in the eggs one at a time until incorporated before adding the next. Then add in the baby food and whisk to combine.

Step-3

Add the flour and salt to the bowl and using the dough hook, mix on low, moving up to medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in the softened butter and continue to mix for 4 more minutes. You may have to scrape down the sides of the bowl half way through. If the dough is sticky, add up to 1/2 cup flour in small increments. The finished dough will be slightly sticky, that’s okay!

Step-4

Place the bowl in a warm spot covered with a tea towel to rise for 2 hours

Step-5

When the dough is doubled in size, knead the dough on a floured surface until no longer sticky. Then, roll it out into approx. an 18″ x 22″ rectangle

For the filling

Step-1

Brush the dough with softened butter, leaving a 1″ border free. Sprinkle with brown sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, raisins, and the shredded carrots. Make sure to squeeze the carrots dry as to not add any access water to the recipe

Step-2

Roll the dough on the long end into a log and cut off the ends and discard. Cut the log into 15 1-1 1/2 inch spirals. Place in a greased 9×13 in pan and leave to rise again for 1 hour in a warm spot covered with a tea towel

Step-3

Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top

For the glaze

Step-1

Combine the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl and stir with a sturdy spatula. Add the confectioners sugar, cinnamon, and milk. Stir until a pourable glaze forms.

Step-2

Pour over the warm cinnamon buns and enjoy!
