Ingredients
- Whole milk
- Instant dry yeast
- Granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs
- Salt
- All-purpose flour
- Dark brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, warm the whole milk and dissolve the granulated sugar and instant dry yeast in it. Let it sit until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, eggs, and salt. Add the yeast mixture once it becomes frothy.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle and spread softened unsalted butter over the surface. Mix dark brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle over the butter.
- Roll the dough tightly and slice into equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar, whole milk, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the rolls are baked, drizzle the vanilla icing over them while still warm and serve.
Notes
For best results, use whole milk for richer flavor. You can substitute with buttermilk or non-dairy milk if needed. Ensure the dough rises adequately for soft, fluffy rolls.
