Ingredients

• 375 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 240 milliliters Milk
• 56 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 100 grams Packed brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 56 grams Softened butter
• 120 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, warm the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot.

Step 3

Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, then add the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle about 25x40 cm.

Step 8

Spread the softened butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Step 9

Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge, then slice it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

Place the slices in a greased baking pan, cover, and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 12

Bake the cinnamon scrolls for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 13

While the scrolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 14

Once baked, remove the scrolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before drizzling with the prepared glaze.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade cinnamon scrolls.
