Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Activate the Yeast
- Put warm water in a small glass bowl. Add the yeast and a little sugar now. Let it sit for ten full minutes. It should look very foamy and bubbly.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- Get your large mixing bowl ready now. Mix the warm milk and melted butter. Add the egg and the rest of sugar. Whisk them until the mixture is very smooth.
Add the Dry Ingredients
- Slowly add the flour to the wet mix. Add the salt to the bowl as well. Use your mixer on a low speed. The dough will start to pull away soon.
Knead the Dough
- Turn the mixer to a medium speed now. Knead the dough for five whole minutes. It should feel very smooth and stretchy. It should not stick to your clean hands.
First Rise
- Grease a clean bowl with some oil. Place the dough ball inside the bowl. Cover it tightly with some plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm spot. Wait for one hour for it to double.
Make the Cinnamon Filling
- Find a small bowl for the filling. Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir them until they look very dark. Set this bowl aside for a few minutes.
Roll Out the Dough
- Punch the dough to let air out. Put it on a floured flat surface. Roll it into a large thin rectangle. Make sure the thickness is even everywhere.
Add Butter and Sugar
- Spread soft butter over the flat dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the butter. Leave a small edge with no sugar. This helps the roll stay closed later.
Roll and Cut
- Roll the dough up into a long log. Start from the long side of the rectangle. Cut the log into twelve even pieces. Use your sharp knife for clean cuts.
Second Rise
- Place rolls on the lined baking sheet. Space them out so they can grow. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rise for forty more minutes.
Bake the Rolls
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees now. Put the rolls inside the hot oven. Bake them for about twenty-five minutes. They should look very golden and brown.
Glaze the Rolls
- Mix powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Add the vanilla and whisk it well. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. Let the glaze set for a minute.
Notes
➜ Always use fresh yeast for the best rise.
➜ Make sure the milk is not too hot.
➜ Do not add too much flour to dough.
➜ Let the dough rise in a warm room.
➜ Flour your surface before you roll the dough.
➜ Use dental floss to cut the dough logs.
➜ Apply the glaze while rolls are still warm.
➜ Check the oven often during the last minutes.
