Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch (do not boil).
Gradually pour the warm milk-butter mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
Add egg to the mixture and knead until a soft dough forms, adding additional flour as needed (up to 1/2 cup). Knead for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and raisins. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a 16x12 inch rectangle.
Brush the rolled-out dough with Kahlua liqueur, then sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon-raisin mixture evenly over it.
Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cut sides up.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they are puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of Kahlua, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add 1-2 teaspoons of milk if the glaze is too thick.
Drizzle the Kahlua glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately. Enjoy!
