Cinnamon rolls are a classic pastry that everyone loves. Whether you're looking for a sweet breakfast treat or a dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth, this cinnamon rolls recipe is perfect for you. Made with simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you can have fresh, warm cinnamon rolls in no time.
To make these cinnamon rolls, you will need:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Begin by mixing together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Add in the softened butter, warm milk, and egg, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic, and then let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle shape. Brush the melted butter over the surface of the dough, and then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top. Roll the dough up tightly, and then cut it into individual rolls. Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, and then let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and then bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden-brown on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. Once they are done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can top them with a cream cheese frosting or a simple powdered sugar glaze if desired.
These cinnamon rolls are perfect for a cozy breakfast or a sweet dessert. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious. Give this recipe a try and enjoy!
