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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. 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!
