Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Optional Toppings
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (for glaze consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
- Mix and Knead: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough 4-5 times until smooth and slightly sticky.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Brush with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Add Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the dough, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Form the Rolls: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 8 equal rolls using a sharp knife.
- Bake: Place rolls into a greased 8-inch square baking pan, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze (Optional): While rolls bake, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Adjust milk for desired thickness.
- Serve: Drizzle the glaze over warm cinnamon rolls before serving for an extra special touch.
