Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for caramel)
- 1/4 cup butter (for caramel)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter together until warm (between 110°F and 115°F).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Pour in the warm milk mixture and add the egg; mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a warm area and let it rise until it has doubled in size, which usually takes about 1 hour.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface and sprinkle it generously with cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into individual rolls.
- For the caramel, melt together the butter and brown sugar in a small pan; then pour it into your baking dish.
- Arrange the rolls in the caramel, cover them, and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly, then invert onto a plate and serve warm.
Notes
For a simpler recipe, swap out granulated sugar for coconut sugar and leave out the nuts. For a dessert twist, add chocolate chips or dried fruit.
