Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls

These dulce de leche cinnamon rolls are so flavorful that no toppings or glazes are needed. You can have these for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

But beware, you can’t eat just one. These are too addicting.. Who doesn’t love the combination of caramel, cinnamon and bread?

I made these with the leftover dough from the Dinner Rolls I made the other day. The dough baked up soft and fluffy. Just unroll each one and lick your fingers. Can’t get enough of these.

I used the same quick proofing method as the dinner rolls so you don’t have t spend hours making them from scratch. If you’re hosting a brunch or a breakfast, you can leave the rolls to proof overnight in the fridge and then bake up when needed.

If you’ve been following my blog for a long time, you’ve noticed that I am addicted to Dulce de Leche. They are available in a can at the supermarket next to the condensed milks.

If you can’t find them in your area, just boil the UNOPENED condensed milk cans for 2 hours. Then let them cool and open the cans. Voila! You have dulce de leche.

This recipe makes much more Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls than what you see in the picture. I did a small batch because I wasn’t sure how they would came out.

You can bake them in a sheet pan or a regular cake mold. Depends if you would like it serve whole in a circle and have your guests pull them off or serve them individually in a big plate.

Now that the Holidays are upon us and celebrations will take place with friends and family. I am sure these Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls will be a hit since they are so delicious, original and best of all, made from scratch.

I hope you can try these delicious Dulce De Leche Cinnamon Rolls at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.

Ingredients
For Dough
  • 1 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
For Filling
  • 1 can Dulce De Leche
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a standing mixer** place the yeast, warm milk, eggs, salt, sugar, butter and 1 cup of the flour. Mix manually with a whisk until combined
  2. Place the dough hook on the mixer and add the rest of the flour. Mix on medium - low speed for 6-7 minutes to knead the dough
  3. Dough should be elastic and not sticky
  4. Grease a bowl with non cooking spray or oil. Place the dough inside the bowl
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic paper and then with a clean kitchen towel
  6. Heat a cup of water in the microwave until it starts boiling
  7. Open the microwave door, move the cup of water to the back and place the bowl with the dough in the middle
  8. Close the microwave door and let the dough proof for 20 minutes (dough should double its size). DO NOT TURN ON THE MICROWAVE
  9. Remove dough from microwave
  10. With a rolling pin, stretch dough into a large rectangle. If dough is sticky, simply add some more flour
  11. Empty the can of dulce de leche into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave dulce de leche for 25-30 seconds or until it becomes smoother and runnier (for easier spreading)
  12. Brush the melted butter all over the surface of the dough
  13. Spread the dulce de leche on top
  14. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the dulce de leche
  15. Roll the dough into a log tightly
  16. Cut into log into 2 inch sections
  17. Grease 2 rectangular baking dishes or 2-3 large cake pans
  18. Place the rolls into the pan. Make sure that the rolls separated so they have enough room to rise. Cover pans with plastic paper and a clean kitchen towel
  19. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and when it reaches temperature turn the oven OFF
  20. Place the rolls inside and let them proof for 20 more minutes
  21. Remove from oven and uncover the rolls.
  22. Preheat the oven 350 Degrees F
  23. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown
  24. Enjoy
Recipe Notes

*Milk needs to be at a lukewarm temperature (around 100 Degrees F). If milk is too hot the yeast will die, if milk is cold or at room temp, the yeast will not activate.
**You can also make these by hand but the kneading times will be longer
***You can proof the dough in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day

    Had extra homemade dulce de leche from another baking experiment and didn’t know what to do with it. Was craving for cinnamon buns, while wondering if there was a recipe that used dulce de leche. Was happy I found this page. Tried the recipe and it was perfect! I think I prefer this over the regular cinnamon buns (sugar)! I think the butter is not needed for the filling because it just made spreading the dulce de leche challenging. Will try this recipe again without the butter next time and see if it will be the same result 🙂

    Hi, great recipe. I’m not sure what you mean by one packet instant yeast? The packet of instant yeast that I have is 1 pound in weight, so if you could tell the table spoons or tea spoons of instant yeast required that would be good. Thanks 😊
