Cooking Time
Total estimated time: 2 hours 30 minutes (including rising time)
Ingredients
- For the Dough:
-
- 500g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
- 60g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 7g (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 240ml (1 cup) whole milk, warmed
- 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- For the Filling:
-
- 200g (1 cup) brown sugar
- 15g (2 tbsp) ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
-
- 120g (1 cup) powdered sugar
- 45ml (3 tbsp) milk
- 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy. Add 60g (1/4 cup) of melted butter, eggs, and salt, then gradually add the flour. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead for 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
Step 2: First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 40×30 cm (16×12 inches). Brush the remaining melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Step 4: Roll and Cut
Starting from a long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
Step 5: Bake the Rolls
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Once cooked, remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.
Step 6: Make the Glaze
Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
Step 7: Serve
Serve the cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy the delightful flavors of sweet cinnamon and soft dough. They are perfect as-is, or pair with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy indulgence.
