Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved cinnamon rolls. She tried many different recipes, but none of them were quite perfect. She wanted a cinnamon roll that was super soft, fluffy, and loaded with cinnamon sugar. One day, she decided to experiment with her own recipe and finally, she created the best cinnamon rolls she had ever tasted.
The Best Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls Ingredients:
1 cup warm milk (110-115 degrees F)
2 and 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
Add in the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add in the butter and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the melted butter over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the butter.
Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long end. Cut into slices about 1-1.5 inches thick.
Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
These homemade cinnamon rolls are absolutely delicious! The dough is super soft and fluffy, and the filling is loaded with cinnamon sugar. The icing is the perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of sweetness and creaminess. These cinnamon rolls are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a dessert.
