Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 cup warm whole milk (110°F)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- For the Icing: 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, and half the flour. Mix well and gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead and Rise: On a floured surface, knead dough for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Make Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll out dough into a rectangle (about 1/2 inch thick), spread softened butter on top, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Shape Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from one edge into a log shape. Pinch to seal edges and cut into slices about two inches wide.
- Second Rise: Place rolls in a greased baking dish with space between them. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling with icing.
