Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for icing)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool until lukewarm.
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs, salt, and 3 cups of flour. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 16x12 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the butter.
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 evenly sized rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Place the rolls, cut side up, in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the rolls bake, make the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for 5 minutes before drizzling with icing. Serve warm and enjoy!
