INGREDIENTS
Dough
• 1 cup warm milk (100°–110°F is the ideal temperature
for Active Dry Yeast. 120°–130°F is the ideal
temperature for RapidRise®.)
• 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet instant dry yeast (2.25 teaspoons or .25
ounces)
• 3 tablespoons salted butter softened
• 1 large egg
• 3 to 3-1/2 cups all purpose flour
Filling
• 1/2 cup salted butter melted
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Glaze
• 1/2 cup salted butter softened
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
