The sweet delight of cinnamon rolls! These soft, fluffy, and fragrant pastries are a treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. The combination of warm cinnamon, sweet sugar, and gooey butter is pure bliss.
Here’s a simple recipe to make these scrumptious treats at home:
Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and sugar.
- Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add the melted butter, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together in a sticky ball.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the dough and roll out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one long side.
- Cut the rolled dough into 12-15 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with Confectioners’ Sugar
Once the rolls are completely cool, dust them with confectioners’ sugar to add an extra layer of sweetness.
Enjoy your freshly baked cinnamon rolls!
