Warm, pillowy cinnamon rolls filled with a sticky-sweet mixture of cinnamon and brown sugar, topped with creamy icing. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Activate your yeast by combining warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix in melted butter and eggs into the foamy yeast mixture until well combined.
  3. Create the dough by gradually adding flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  5. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered with a towel, for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle.
  7. Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar.
  8. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into slices.
  9. Place the rolls in a greased baking pan and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Mix powdered sugar with milk for icing and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure that the yeast is fresh and the milk is warm (not hot). Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra texture.
