Cinnamon Rolls
Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls with a sweet cinnamon filling and creamy icing.
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- For the filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- For the icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm (about 110°F). Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and add the eggs. Stir until well combined.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x16 inch rectangle.
- Spread the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking the powdered sugar and milk together.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle them with the icing. Serve warm and enjoy!
