Deliciously soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls drizzled with creamy icing, perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough Base: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Warm the Milk and Butter: In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and melted unsalted butter until warm but not boiling.
  3. Combine Ingredients and Knead: Stir the warm mixture into the dry ingredients, then add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Fill with Sweetness: Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Roll it Up: Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 pieces.
  8. Second Rise: Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
  9. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes.
  10. Prepare the Icing: Mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
  11. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls and serve immediately.
