But these aren’t just any cinnamon rolls – they are a delightful masterpiece of tender and fluffy dough, irresistible brown sugar and cinnamon filling, and a luscious glaze that adds the perfect finishing touch.
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 packets (14g each) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
For the filling:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup melted butter
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Making the Dough
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast with warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. In another large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the sugar and melted butter. Stir in the yeast mixture.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Creating the Rolls
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to form a rectangle. Brush the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.
- Roll up the dough from one of the longer sides to form a cylinder. Cut the cylinder into slices, about 2 cm thick. Place the slices on a baking tray, leaving space between each one.
Baking the Rolls
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour the glaze over the still warm cinnamon rolls.
Now, take a bite into these homemade cinnamon rolls and indulge in the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. Enjoy!
