Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Cinnamon Roll Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm (not hot). Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   Mix Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the Dough

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

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle (1/4 inch thick). Spread softened butter over the dough.

5. 5

   Add Filling

   In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

6. 6

   Shape the Rolls

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

7. 7

   Second Rise

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

8. 8

   Bake the Rolls

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

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

    Glaze and Serve
