Indulge in the fluffy and gooey cinnamon rolls, generously drizzled with a creamy glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Allow it to activate for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Then, mix in the melted butter and eggs. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll the dough tightly and slice it into 12 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
- Allow the rolls to rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls.
