Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. 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 the Filling

   In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt butter for spreading.

4. 4

   Roll the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

5. 5

   Shape the Rolls

   Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

6. 6

   Second Rise

   Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Bake

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

8. 8

   Make the Icing

   While the rolls are baking, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.

9. 9

   Finish the Rolls

   Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the icing on top.
