Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and unsalted butter until warm (but not hot!). Stir the warm liquid into the dry ingredients.
- Add in the egg and mix until the dough starts to come together.
Kneading and Rising
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Filling and Rolling
- In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air, then roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
Cutting and Second Rise
- Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Glazing
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
Notes
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
