Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 stick Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for filling)
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and stick of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot (110°F to 115°F). Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar.

Step 2

Sprinkle dry active yeast over the warm milk mixture. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and eggs. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, gradually adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if the dough is sticky. The dough should be soft, smooth, and slightly tacky.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a separate dish.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a 12x18 inch rectangle.

Step 8

Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered surface.

Step 9

Starting from the long end, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.

Step 10

Place the rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise again in a warm place for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 11

Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 12

While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.

Step 13

Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled cinnamon rolls. Serve warm and enjoy!
