Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Warm Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, warm the milk until it is just above room temperature. Add the melted butter to the milk for a nice smooth blend.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the milk and butter mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and stir until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator.
- Prepare Rolls in the Morning: In the morning, roll out the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the surface, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and brown sugar, then roll up the dough and cut it into individual rolls.
- Final Rise and Bake: Place the rolls into a greased baking dish and let them rise until they have doubled in size. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the Icing and Serve: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth to create your icing. Drizzle it over the warm rolls and enjoy!
