How to Make Gramma's Old Fashioned Cinnamon Sweet Rolls
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ cup melted unsalted butter to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Gradually add 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing 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 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, and ½ cup chopped raisins or nuts (optional).
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- 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 using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
- Grease two 9x13 inch baking pans.
- Arrange the sweet roll slices in the prepared pans.
- Cover the pans with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
