Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (around 110°F)
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg
- 3 quarters cup Brown sugar (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 1 quarter cup Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a small saucepan or microwave, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (approximately 100°F-110°F). Stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until the butter melts. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the packet of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
Add the lukewarm milk mixture, 1 egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until smooth, then gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook on medium speed for 4 minutes.
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the cinnamon-sugar filling by mixing 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
Roll the dough out into a 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
Starting from the long edge closest to you, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal, and cut the log into 12 equal slices using dental floss or a sharp knife.
Arrange the rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes while the oven preheats to 375°F.
Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
