Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Preparation and Baking

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Pour the warm milk mixture into the flour mixture. Add eggs and mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Make the Filling

   In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

5. 5

   Add the Filling

   Spread the butter on the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-walnut mixture evenly over the top.

6. 6

   Roll and Slice

   Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other and cut into 12 equal pieces.

7. 7

   Second Rise

   Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Bake

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

9. 9

   Serve

   Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, drizzle with icing or serve with cream cheese frosting.
