Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup milk (warm)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Milk (for icing consistency)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for approximately 1 hour or until doubled.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread melted butter over it. Mix brown sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the dough.
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Cut into equal pieces about 1 inch thick.
- Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and add milk gradually until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
