Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the ingredients for these rolls is like preparing for a cozy Sunday afternoon in the kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)

If you’re out of brown sugar, don’t worry. You can substitute it with an equal amount of granulated sugar mixed with a tablespoon of molasses for that rich flavor. And if you’re in a pinch, regular whole milk can be swapped with any milk you have on hand.

Instructions

Here’s how to whip up these delightful rolls:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir to mix well.
  2. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form. It’s okay if it’s a bit sticky.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours or until doubled in size. I usually tuck mine near the stove where it’s cozy and warm.
  5. Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle, roughly 12×18 inches.
  7. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
  8. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
  9. Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and your kitchen smells like heaven.
  11. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Trust me, the wait is worth it!
