Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Butter (for spreading before rolling)
  • Additional cinnamon and sugar for filling (about 0.5 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon cinnamon)
  • Powdered sugar and milk for icing

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt to evenly combine the dry ingredients.
  3. Form the dough: Add the melted butter, eggs, and foamy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir together until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Roll and fill: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
  7. Slice the rolls: Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and arrange them evenly in a greased baking pan with some space in between to allow for expansion.
  8. Second rise: Cover the rolls loosely and let them rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
  9. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for approximately 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
  10. Prepare icing and serve: While the rolls are baking, whisk powdered sugar with a little milk to create a smooth icing. Once rolls come out warm from the oven, drizzle the icing over the top and serve warm.

Notes

  • Serve the cinnamon rolls warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can reheat rolls briefly in the microwave or oven before serving.
