Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 package instant yeast
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour and yeast.
- In a small saucepan, heat milk, granulated sugar, 3 tbsp butter, and salt until warm and butter is melted. Add this to the flour mixture along with egg.
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl. Then beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
- Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a 12×10 inch rectangle. Spread with the softened butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
- Place the slices in a greased 13×9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
- Combine icing ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls.
