Ingredients
    For The Dough
  • 4 cup Flour (All Purpose)
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 cup Warm Milk (110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Salt
    • For The Filling
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar ((Packed))
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter ((Softened))
Instructions
    Making The Rolls
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough (30 minutes + 1 hour rising time)
    1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture, stir gently, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
    2. Add the melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture, and mix well.
    3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a dough forms.
    4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
    5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  2. Step 2: Roll Out the Dough (10 minutes)
    1. Punch down the risen dough to remove excess air.
    2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle, roughly 16x21 inches.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Filling (5 minutes)
    1. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
    2. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle it generously over the buttered surface.
  4. Step 4: Roll and Cut (10 minutes)
    1. Starting with the long edge, tightly roll up the dough, creating a log.
    2. Slice the log into approximately 12 equal-sized rolls.
  5. Step 5: Arrange and Rise (30 minutes)
    1. Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll.
    2. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Preheat and Bake (20-25 minutes)
    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    2. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
    7. Making The Frosting (5 minutes)
  7. Step 1: Cream the Butter
    1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until it's creamy and smooth.
  8. Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar
    1. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the creamed butter.
    2. Continue to mix until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  9. Step 3: Incorporate Milk and Vanilla
    1. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture.
    2. Mix well until the frosting is creamy. If the frosting is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk and mix until you achieve your desired consistency.
  10. Step 4: Add a Pinch of Salt
    1. Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor.
    2. Mix for another minute until the salt is well incorporated.
  11. Step 5: Frost the Cinnamon Rolls
    1. Once your homemade cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly but are still warm, generously spread this delightful frosting over the top.
    2. Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before serving.

    Pro Tip: You can customize your cinnamon rolls by adding chopped nuts or raisins to the filling before rolling them up.

    These homemade cinnamon rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat any time of day. Enjoy!
