Chef's Perfect Cinnamon Rolls
Indulge in the heavenly taste of these perfectly baked cinnamon rolls with a delightful powdered sugar glaze.
Ingredients
1 1⁄4 | cups milk |
|---|---|
1⁄2 | cup sugar |
2 | packages dry yeast |
1⁄2 | cup water (110-115 degrees) |
1 | teaspoon sugar |
6 | flour, half all-purpose and half bread flour |
2 | eggs |
1⁄2 | cup butter, room temperature |
2 | teaspoons salt |
3⁄4 | cup sugar |
1 1⁄4 | cups brown sugar |
5 | teaspoons ground cinnamon |
3⁄4 | cup butter |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by softening the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water with a teaspoon of sugar added. Set it aside for five minutes. |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a large bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt, and about one cup of flour. Beat the mixture well using a wooden spoon. |
| 3. | Add the eggs and yeast mixture along with a couple of cups of flour. Beat the mixture again. |
| 4. | Incorporate the soft butter and the remaining flour slowly. Continue adding flour until the dough is too stiff to stir. |
| 5. | Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and satiny, adding only enough flour to prevent sticking. |
| 6. | Add more flour as needed. |
| 7. | Place the dough in a greased bowl, ensuring all sides are greased. Allow it to rise in a warm place until double in size, approximately an hour. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap. For ideal conditions, place the bowl in a slightly warm oven with the light on, reaching a temperature of around 90 degrees. |
| 8. | Punch down the dough, knead for about 30 seconds to remove bubbles, cover, and let it rise again. |
| 9. | Punch down the dough once more. |
| 10. | Divide the dough into four parts, shape them into balls, and roll each ball into an 8 x 14-inch rectangle. |
| 11. | Spread about 3 tablespoons of butter on the dough, leaving the far edge unbuttered. |
| 12. | Evenly spread one fourth of the cinnamon sugar mixture on the dough. |
| 13. | Roll up the dough tightly, pinch the edges, and cut into slices. |
| 14. | Place the slices in a greased pan and allow them to rise until double in size, which should take 45-60 minutes. |
| 15. | Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. |
| 16. | After baking, top with a generous amount of powdered sugar glaze or a light coating of canned vanilla frosting. |
