Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture along with the eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling and Baking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the softened butter over the surface. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

  2. 4

    Roll and Slice

    Roll the dough tightly into a log, and slice into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  3. 5

    Bake

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

Glaze

  1. 6

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
