Ingredients

Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast ((2 1/4 tsp))
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs

Filling

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions 

  • Combine warm milk, yeast, and a tablespoon of sugar; let sit 5 minutes until foamy.
  • Add melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, salt, and gradually mix in flour to form a soft dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
  • Let dough rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour or until doubled.
  • Roll dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut into 12 rolls.
  • Place rolls in a greased dish, let rise for 20 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes. Mix powdered sugar and milk for icing and drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

For a richer flavor, let the dough rise longer or add a touch of vanilla to the icing.
