Here’s a classic Cinnamon Roll recipe—soft, fluffy, and packed with gooey cinnamon-sugar goodness 🌀🍥
🥐 Ingredients
Dough:
- 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter, softened
Glaze (Optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
🍳 Method
1. Make the Dough
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- In a bowl, mix sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg.
- Add flour gradually, then the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic (8–10 minutes).
- Cover and let rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll out dough into a rectangle (~12×8 inches).
- Spread softened butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar evenly over it.
3. Roll & Slice
- Roll dough tightly from the long side to form a log.
- Slice into 12 equal rolls and place in a greased baking pan.
4. Second Rise
- Cover and let rolls rise 30–45 minutes.
5. Bake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
6. Glaze (Optional)
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls.
🍽️ Serving Tips
- Best served warm straight from the oven.
- Pair with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate.
- Can add cream cheese frosting for an indulgent treat.
💡 Pro Tips:
- Don’t overfill with cinnamon sugar—too much can leak out.
- For extra gooeyness, add a sprinkle of raisins or chopped nuts inside.
