Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

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

3. 3

   Make the Filling

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

4. 4

   Roll and Fill

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough and roll it up tightly, starting from one edge.

5. 5

   Cut the Rolls

   Cut the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Bake

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

7. 7

   Make the Glaze

   While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or sugar as needed.

8. 8

   Serve

   Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, drizzle the glaze over the top while they are still warm. Serve immediately.
