How to make Cinnamon Rolls
Prepare the Dough
- Step 1
In a bowl, mix the yeast with the warm milk and let it rest for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and eggs, then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape and Fill the Rolls
- Step 1
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Step 2
Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.
- Step 3
Roll up the dough tightly from the long side to form a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Bake and Glaze
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Step 2
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk and vanilla.
- Step 3
Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm.
