Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Large egg
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
Warm the milk to about 110°F (lukewarm) and stir it into the flour mixture along with the melted butter and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add up to an additional 1/2 cup of flour if the dough is sticky.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to make the filling.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12x18-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the log into 12 equal slices and arrange them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
