Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (for filling)
- 1 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, the granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk and 0.25 cups of unsalted butter until warm but not hot (about 110°F).
Add the warm milk mixture and the eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cups of flour, a little at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is slightly tacky but manageable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together to prepare the filling.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 12x16 inches in size.
Spread the 0.25 cups of soft butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting on the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
Using a sharp knife or piece of dental floss, cut the roll into 12 equal slices. Place the slices into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise again in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the rolls bake, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cinnamon Favorites!
