Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast, stirring gently. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add the sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt, mixing well. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Roll Out Dough and Add Filling: Punch down the dough and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 15×9 inches. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Form Rolls: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 9 equal slices and place the rolls cut-side up into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 15 minutes until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Prepare Glaze: While the rolls bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Warm the milk to about 110°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
- Do not over-knead the dough as it can become tough; stop once the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cinnamon and sugar quantities can be adjusted to taste for a lighter or stronger filling.
- For a richer glaze, add a tablespoon of cream cheese or melted butter.
- These cinnamon rolls taste best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
