Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Maple extract
Instructions
Warm the milk in a saucepan or microwave until it reaches about 110°F (lukewarm). Pour it into a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar until dissolved.
Add the butter to the warm milk and stir until melted. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the milk and yeast along with the eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl for the filling.
Once risen, roll the dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut the log into 12 even pieces.
Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll for rising.
Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and maple extract in a bowl until smooth.
Let the rolls cool slightly before drizzling the maple glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
