Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm (not hot). Stir the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

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

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter and set aside.

4. 4

   Roll the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

5. 5

   Shape the Rolls

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

6. 6

   Second Rise

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

7. 7

   Bake the Rolls

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

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: Drizzle with icing or serve with cream cheese frosting.
