- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2–3 tbsp milk (for icing)
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the top.
- Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the icing, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzle over warm rolls.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling.
- These rolls can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
- Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving if made in advance.
