How to Make Amazing Cinnamon Buns Rolls
- 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.
- 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.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- 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.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 18x12 inches).
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough up 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 another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While still warm, brush with a glaze (optional: cream cheese glaze or simple icing).
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!
