For the Dough:
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 packages of active dry yeast
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons salt
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 6 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup melted margarine
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Step 1:Combine warm water, yeast, and one tablespoon of sugar. Allow the yeast to activate for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, milk, salt, and half of the flour. Mix well.
Step 3:Gradually incorporate the remaining flour until the dough is firm and slightly sticky.
Step 4: Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5: Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size, and covered.
Step 6: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
Step 7: Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon.
Step 8: Roll up the dough tightly, sealing the edges.
Step 9: Cut the rolled dough into 1-2 inch slices and arrange them in a greased baking dish. Let them rise, covered, for 45 minutes.
Step 10: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) in preparation for baking.
Step 11: Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Step 12: Mix melted margarine, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
Step 13: After the rolls cool slightly, drizzle the prepared glaze over them.
Make sure to use warm, but not hot, water to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
- Don’t over-knead the dough. This can result in tough cinnamon rolls rather than soft and fluffy ones.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the filling to suit your taste preferences.
- For an added touch, you can sprinkle chopped pecans or raisins on top of the cinnamon and sugar mixture before rolling up the dough.
- These cinnamon rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can also be reheated in the microwave for a quick and delicious breakfast treat. ¼
