Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Warm the milk slightly (about 110°F) and pour it into the bread machine pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, the egg, granulated sugar, and salt to the pan.
Layer the flour on top, making sure it covers the wet ingredients.
Create a small well in the flour and add the active dry yeast. Do not let the yeast come into contact with the liquids.
Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. Let the machine mix and knead the dough. This typically takes about 1.5 hours.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle using a rolling pin.
Spread 3 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it closed.
Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut the log into 16 equal pieces.
Place the mini rolls into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each one.
Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
