Delicious and soft cinnamon rolls are perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or a festive occasion. They may seem intimidating to make, but with a little bit of time and patience, you can create delicious, soft, and sweet rolls that will impress your friends and family.
To make these cinnamon rolls, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients: 2 and 1/4 cups of all- purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of dry active yeast, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and a trace of nutmeg.

To prepare the dough, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the softened butter and a few tablespoons of milk, and mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and set aside in a warm, draft-free environment for at least an hour or two to allow it to rise.
While the dough is rising, you can prepare the cinnamon roll filling. In a medium bowl, melt the 1/4 cup of butter and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set this mixture aside.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough up tightly, starting at one of the long edges. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1 to 2-inch slices, and place the slices on a greased baking sheet.

Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before topping them with icing, chopped pecans, cayenne pepper, fresh fruit, sprinkles, or grated orange or lemon zest.
These cinnamon rolls are most delicious when served warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. If you’d like to prepare them in advance, you can freeze them before baking and then bake them from frozen.
Making homemade cinnamon rolls may seem like a challenging task, but the end result is worth it. The combination of soft, sweet dough and spicy cinnamon filling is simply delicious. Plus, there is something special about knowing that you made these treats from scratch. So gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to savor the ultimate comfort food.
