Print Recipe

Soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast or a cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ½ cup whole milk, warm
  • ¼ cup water, warm
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 ¼ cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Mix in warm milk, water, melted butter, and egg until combined.
  3. Add remaining flour gradually until dough forms and pulls away from sides of the bowl.
  4. Knead dough for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out dough into a 14×8-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Spread softened butter over dough, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  8. Roll dough tightly from the long side and cut into 12 even rolls.
  9. Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make glaze.
  12. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure liquids are warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Use dental floss to slice the rolls cleanly.
  • For overnight rolls, refrigerate after step 8 and bake in the morning.
