Description
Delightfully fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with brown sugar and cinnamon, topped with a sweet frosting for a perfect breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir them together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Ensure the mixture is nicely combined and ready to unite with the dry ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until combined, then knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches). Spread the softened butter over the rectangle, then sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly.
- Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffed.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and smelling divine.
- While the rolls are baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, creating a drizzle-worthy frosting.
- Drizzle the frosting over the warm rolls once they come out of the oven. Serve them up, and watch them disappear!
Notes
For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts or raisins into the filling. To add variety, try different spices like nutmeg or cardamom.
