Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed (110°F)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Once risen, roll the dough out into a large rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
  8. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 12 equal rolls.
  10. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  13. While baking, prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  14. Once the rolls are done, drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.

Notes

  • For extra gooey rolls, you can add a layer of cream cheese frosting on top.
  • These cinnamon rolls can be made ahead and stored in the fridge overnight before baking.
