Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk (lukewarm)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm (around 110°F). In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
- Add melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle (approximately 12×18 inches).
- Spread melted butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together; sprinkle generously over the buttered dough.
- Roll up tightly from one long side to form a log shape.
- Cut the log into equal slices (about 1 to 1½ inches thick) and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let rise again for another half hour while preheating your oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While cooling slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form a glaze.
- Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
