How to Make 1 Hour Cinnamon Rolls
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk (105-115°F), yeast (2 ¼ tsp), and sugar (¼ cup). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add eggs (2 large), melted butter (¼ cup), salt (1 tsp), and vanilla extract (1 tsp) to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add flour (3 cups), mixing until a shaggy dough forms. If using a stand mixer, knead for 4 minutes with the dough hook until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If kneading by hand, knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling: combine softened butter (½ cup), brown sugar (¾ cup), and cinnamon (2 tbsp) in a bowl.
- Roll out the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 15-20 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare your desired icing (see recipe notes for cinnamon roll and caramel sticky bun icing options).
- Drizzle icing over warm rolls and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
