Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
– 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
– 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)


Instructions

Creating these amazing Cinnamon Rolls can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (about 110°F) and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Mixtures: Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.
4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
8. Roll Out Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Spread Filling: Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
10. Roll Up: Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
11. Cut into Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
12. Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
13. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
14. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
15. Prepare Icing: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
16. Cool and Ice: Allow the rolls to cool for 15-20 minutes before drizzling the icing over the top.
