Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add melted butter, salt, and one cup of flour; mix well. Gradually add more flour until a soft dough forms.
  2. 2. Knead the Dough: Turn onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  3. 3. Make the Filling: Mix remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until combined.
  4. 4. Roll Out Dough: Punch down risen dough, roll into a rectangle (½ inch thick), and spread filling evenly.
  5. 5. Shape Into Rolls: Roll tightly into a log shape from one side; cut into equal pieces.
  6. 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange rolls in a greased pan slightly touching each other. Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown.
