Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Incorporate the Flour

    Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    Add Butter

    Incorporate the softened butter into the dough, kneading until fully combined. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter to create a spreadable paste.

  5. 5

    Shape the Rolls

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough and roll it tightly from the long side. Cut into 12 equal rolls.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake the Rolls

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

  8. 8

    Prepare the Glaze

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

  9. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the rolls are baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve.
