Not, apologizing. Lol.
Cinnamon Roll Coniseauur
So during the Pandemic like most what did we do? We baked. So I went on the hunt on Pinterest. I started looking up Cinnamon Rolls recipes and nothing looked good or stood out to me. I claim to be a Cinnamon Roll coniseauur and I know a good Cinnamon Roll when I see one. So, after some time, I finally found a recipe and I was super excited to make it.
My family was planning a brunch and I said I’ll make the cinnamon rolls. I loved every minute of it. Now call me old-fashioned but I felt like such a woman. Making and needing the dough. Whipping up homemade frosting. All I was missing was my man coming in through the door off his horse asking when supper would be ready. Hahah!!! Ok, I digressed but yeah as you can see it was a vibe.
Once I took the cinnamon rolls out of the oven and iced them up. We were ready to pound them. And we did. We made coffee and just had a real moment. So if you ladies are ready to channel your inner homemaker then follow this tasty Cinnamon Roll recipe. Enjoy
Tasty Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
For the Cinnamon Roll Dough:
- 2 ½ to 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast, 1 standard packet
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten (at room temperature)
For the Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
To Make the Dough:
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside
To the bowl of a stand mixer, add 2 ½ cups of the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Whisk to combine.
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
In a microwave safe bowl or over the stovetop, heat the water, milk, and butter to about 110°F to 115°F. Pour the mixture into the bowl of the stand mixer along with the dry ingredients along with the softened butter and egg.
½ cup water
¼ cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg
Using a dough hook, mix on a low setting until the dough comes together. If the dough is too wet, add remaining flour ¼ cup at a time to form a soft, smooth, elastic dough. Then continue to mix at low-medium speed for an additional 5 to 6 minutes. Next, allow the dough to rest in the bowl for 3 to 5 minutes.
After the dough rests, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangular shape about ¼-inch to ½-inch thick.
To Make the Filling:
Use a spatula to spread the softened butter on the rectangle of dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the softened butter.
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Beginning with the short side of the rectangle, tightly roll the dough so the cinnamon and sugar are on the inside. Use a sharp knife, dough scraper, or dental floss to cut the rolled dough into 12 even pieces.
Place the cut dough into the prepared baking dish and cover with a clean towel. Transfer the dough to a warm, draft-free place and allow it to rise until doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Once the cinnamon rolls have doubled in size, bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool until just slightly warm before adding the icing.
For the Icing:
Use a spatula to smooth over slightly warm cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
