  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 22 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)
– 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
– 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)


Instructions

Creating these amazing Cinnamon Rolls can be straightforward if you follow these clear steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (about 110°F/43°C), sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, salt, and cinnamon.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter and eggs. Add the frothy yeast mixture to this bowl.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated.

5. Knead the Dough: Slowly add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

6. Let Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

7. Prepare Filling: Mix the brown sugar and softened butter in a small bowl. Set aside.

8. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

9. Spread Filling: Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture evenly over the dough.

10. Roll the Dough: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.

11. Cut Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

12. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, ensuring they are close together but not touching.

13. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

14. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

15. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

16. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.

17. Prepare Icing: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

18. Drizzle Icing: Drizzle the icing over the warm Cinnamon Rolls.
