Description
Soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls that bring warmth and joy to your mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a tablespoon of sugar. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, watching for it to get foamy.
- Add the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, and salt to the mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about one hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Roll the dough into a 16×12-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of the butter, creating a delightful filling.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, then cut it into 12 equal rolls.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and allow them to rise for an additional 20 minutes.
- Bake the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Mix the powdered sugar and milk to create the glaze, then drizzle it over the warm rolls right before serving.
Notes
For best results, test your yeast before using it. Ensure the dough rises in a warm, draft-free area.
