Delicious and gooey cinnamon rolls that are perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (for the glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

  2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk and melted butter until warm to the touch.

  3. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and add the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

  7. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12×9-inch rectangle.

  8. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.

  9. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered dough.

  10. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.

  11. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 8 equal parts.

  12. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish and cover with a kitchen towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  13. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  14. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

  15. Once the rolls are done, drizzle them with the glaze.

  16. Serve warm and enjoy!
