Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 package Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 units Large eggs
• 4.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Softened butter
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (not boiling) and stir in the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter until melted. Let the mixture cool until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk mixture, frothy yeast, eggs, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining flour (about 2 1/2 cups) to the mixture, stirring or kneading until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the filling. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to form a large rectangle, approximately 15x10 inches.

Step 8

Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter.

Step 9

Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal, then cut the log into 12 even slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.

Step 10

Place the cinnamon roll slices cut-side up into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes, until puffy.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl until smooth.

Step 13

Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls before serving.
