Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 package active dry yeast about 2 ¼ teaspoons
• 1 cup warm milk about 110°F
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar for filling
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar optional glaze
• 2 tablespoons milk for glaze

Equipment

• Mixing Bowls
• Rolling Pin
• Baking dish
• Oven
• Silicone spatula

Method

 

1. Combine the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating activation.
   
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir with a silicone spatula until a sticky dough forms.
   
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
   
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
   
5. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log, then cut into 8 equal pieces.
6. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between them. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling. Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze, then drizzle over the warm rolls before serving.
   2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
