Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs; mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick), spread softened butter over it, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Roll & Cut: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape and pinch seams closed. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Bake: Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise again for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Glaze & Serve: Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla to create icing. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
