Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. 1. Activate Your Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
  2. 2. Create the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour and salt together. Add melted butter and yeast mixture; stir until combined into a shaggy dough.
  3. 3. Knead: On a floured surface, knead dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. 4. Let It Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. 5. Make Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl while the dough rises.
  6. 6. Roll It Up: Roll out dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, then roll tightly from one edge.
  7. 7. Slice & Bake: Cut rolls into equal pieces (1-2 inches thick) and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Let rise again for 30 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
