Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240ml) warm milk
- 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tbsp (38g) cane sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp (7g) instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp (15g) ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine the warm milk, melted butter, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl.
- Gradually stir in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly greased surface for 3-5 minutes until it feels smooth and springs back when poked.
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches).
- Spread the softened butter evenly across the surface, leaving a small margin at the edges.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter, pressing it lightly with your palms to ensure it adheres.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log from the long edge.
- Use dental floss to slice the log into 12 even rolls.
- Place the rolls in a prepared 9x13 inch baking pan and let them rest in a warm spot for 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are mahogany-colored.
- Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the rolls immediately after removing them from the oven.
