Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and stick of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot (110°F to 115°F). Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar.
Sprinkle dry active yeast over the warm milk mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and eggs. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, gradually adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if the dough is sticky. The dough should be soft, smooth, and slightly tacky.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a separate dish.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18 inch rectangle.
Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered surface.
Starting from the long end, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Place the rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise again in a warm place for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled cinnamon rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
