Here’s a classic recipe:
🍥 Cinnamon Rolls
🧺 Ingredients (Makes 8–12 rolls)
Dough:
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
🔪 Instructions
1. Make the dough
- Warm the milk and dissolve yeast with 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix milk-yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add flour until dough forms. Knead 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. First rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
3. Prepare filling
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Roll out dough into a rectangle (~16×12 inches). Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly.
4. Roll and cut
- Roll dough tightly from the long side into a log.
- Cut into 8–12 rolls and place in a greased 9×13-inch pan.
5. Second rise
- Cover and let rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.
6. Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
7. Glaze
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle over warm rolls.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Extra gooey: Spread a little cream cheese frosting instead of simple glaze.
- Add-ins: Sprinkle chopped pecans or raisins in the filling.
- Flavor twist: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon sugar.
- Overnight option: Let the dough rise in the fridge overnight for a deep, developed flavor.
