Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a soft dough.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangular shape, about ¼ inch thick.

  3. 6

    Spread Butter and Sprinkle Filling

    Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered surface.

  4. 7

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish, cut side up.

Baking

  1. 8

    Second Rise

    Cover the baking dish with a cloth and let the cinnamon wheels rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  2. 9

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 10

    Bake the Cinnamon Wheels

    Bake the cinnamon wheels in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Glazing

  1. 11

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  2. 12

    Glaze the Cinnamon Wheels

    Once the cinnamon wheels have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
