Method
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Kneading
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Filling Preparation
- Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon and softened butter until well combined.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
Rolling and Second Rise
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Icing Preparation
- While the rolls are baking, mix the powdered sugar with milk until smooth.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the icing on top while they’re still warm.
Serving
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly, then dig in and relish each fluffy, sweet bite!
Notes
For gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure dough isn’t too sticky; add more flour as needed. You can enhance flavor with nutmeg or nuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave or oven for softness.
