Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the mixture. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Prepare Caramel Topping

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter for the caramel topping. Stir in brown sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Pour into a greased baking dish.

  4. 4

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

  5. 5

    Roll and Fill

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, then roll tightly from the long side. Cut into 12 equal pieces.

  6. 6

    Arrange and Rise

    Place the rolls on top of the caramel in the baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Let the rolls cool for a few minutes, then invert onto a serving platter to allow the caramel to drip over the rolls. Serve warm.
