Description
Delight in the warm, gooey goodness of homemade cinnamon rolls, featuring soft swirls of cinnamon sugar and a creamy glaze that transforms any morning into a special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for spreading)
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1/4 cup milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit until frothy (about five minutes).
- In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Pour in melted butter along with the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth—about eight minutes.
- Place your dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size—this usually takes about one hour.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Once your dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle—about half an inch thick.
- Spread melted butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle with your cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across its surface.
- Roll tightly from one end to another into a log.
- Slice your rolled log into about twelve equal pieces using dental floss or a sharp knife.
- Place them cut-side up in greased baking dishes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for about twenty-five minutes or until golden brown.
- While they cool slightly, whisk icing sugar with milk until smooth—a drizzle worthy of their fluffy glory!
