Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and yeast in a bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl: flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture to the flour mixture; combine well to form a dough.
  4. Knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth, then let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread melted butter, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
  6. Roll up the dough tightly starting from one long edge and cut into slices.
  7. Place slices in a greased baking dish and let rise for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Prepare the icing by whisking together icing sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. Drizzle icing over warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
