Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. 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.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the top.
  8. Roll the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  9. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. 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.
