How to Make Amazing Cinnamon Buns Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 1 large egg, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. Mix with a dough hook or by hand until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 18x12 inches).
  7. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
  8. Tightly roll the dough up from the long side into a log.
  9. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  10. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  11. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  12. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. While still warm, brush with a glaze (optional: cream cheese glaze or simple icing).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
