Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

Mix the instant yeast with 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl. Allow it to froth for approximately 5 minutes, indicating that the yeast is active.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 egg, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir the ingredients until well combined.

Step 3: Add the Flour

Gradually incorporate 4 cups all-purpose flour into the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 6-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5: Let the Dough Rise

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, which should take around 1 hour.

Step 6: Prepare the Filling

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface. Brush the surface with 1/2 cup melted butter, then evenly sprinkle with 1 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.

Step 7: Roll and Slice the Dough

Starting from the long side, roll the dough up snugly into a log shape. Slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8: Arrange in Baking Pan

Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking pan, and make sure they are spaced well. Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise again until they have doubled in size, which should take about 30 minutes.

Step 9: Preheat the Oven

While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10: Bake the Rolls

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Step 11: Prepare the Icing

In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 12: Drizzle and Serve

Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the icing over them while they are still warm. Enjoy the delightful aroma and the taste of your sweet breakfast rolls!

Notes

Yeast Activation Tip

Ensure that the water used for activating the yeast is warm but not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast.

Dough Rising Environment

For the best results, let the dough rise in a warm environment. If your kitchen is cool, consider placing the bowl in a slightly warmed oven (turned off).

Storage Suggestions

These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or frozen for longer shelf life.

Customization Ideas

Feel free to add nuts, raisins, or other favorite ingredients to the filling for a personalized touch!
