Cinnamon Rolls
Method
Cinnamon Roll Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add melted butter, warmed milk, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Roll and Fill
Once risen, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon evenly. Roll the dough tightly into a log.
