Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter until melted. Allow to cool slightly, then add to the dry ingredients along with the eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

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

3. 3

   Make the Filling

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

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

5. 5

   Add the Filling

   Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.

6. 6

   Roll and Slice

   Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces.

7. 7

   Second Rise

   Place the slices in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise again for about 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Bake

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

9. 9

   Make the Icing

   In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
