Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- Optional: Cream cheese frosting for topping
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups of the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
- Gradually add in the remaining flour, a little at a time, until the dough starts to pull away from the bowl.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release air, and roll it out to a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before drizzling with cream cheese frosting, if desired.
Notes
Make ahead by preparing the dough the night before and refrigerating it overnight.
