INSTRUCTIONS

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk,


sugar, salt, yeast, butter, and eggs. Using a dough
hook, turn the mixer on a low speed to combine
and slowly add in flour.

• Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough,


increase the speed to medium until the dough
pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough
mixture should be soft and tacky, but not stick to
your hands. Add more flour until the dough reaches
the desired consistency. Note: The amount of flour
added in bread making is always an approximation
and should be adjusted by feel.

• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl.


Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size,
about 1 hour.

• In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup room


temperature butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 16-inch
by 20-inch rectangle.

• Spread cinnamon mixture onto dough leaving one inch of plain dough on the long edge.
Note: Heat mixture for 5-10 seconds if mixture is too thick to spread.

• Roll up tightly lengthwise into one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the
dough into 16 slices (1.25” slices.)

• Place the slices into greased pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight or
freeze for up to one month. Note: If refrigerating, let rolls sit at room temperature for 30
minutes before baking. If freezing, remove from freezer and refrigerate for 24 hours before
baking.

• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325°F. Bake the rolls for about 18-20 minutes,
until just golden brown on top.

• While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the icing glaze. Use a hand mixer to whip butter
in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to achieve a
spreadable consistency. Add more milk as needed.

• Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store in refrigerator for up to 5
days.
