Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2 tbsp milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  8. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Mix powdered sugar and milk to make icing and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk.
  • Make sure the yeast is fresh for the best rise.
  • These rolls can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
