Perfect Cinnamon Rolls

Indulge in the warm, gooey goodness of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. With a few simple ingredients and some love, you can create a batch that will have everyone coming back for seconds.

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and melted butter together until warm—not too hot, or it will kill the yeast.
Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients, and add the egg. Mix until everything is combined.
Gradually add in the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, roll the dough out into a large rectangle (about 16 x 12 inches).
Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
Cover and let them rise again for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, mix powdered sugar with enough milk to create a drizzling consistency for the glaze.
Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, let them cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.

And there you have it! Your very own batch of homemade cinnamon rolls, perfect for sharing with friends and family or simply enjoying yourself. Each bite is a warm hug on a plate, and I can guarantee they won’t last long. Enjoy!
