Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup brown butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3½ cups of flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk together dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Create a well in the center of dry ingredients. Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix using a wooden spoon or stand mixer with dough hook until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead for 4-5 minutes on medium speed.
- Place 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.
- While dough rises, prepare filling by mixing brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set softened butter aside.
- After dough has risen, punch down and roll out on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 18x12 inches.
- Spread softened butter evenly across the dough, then sprinkle cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over butter, covering entire surface.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a log. Cut into 12 equal-sized rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.
- Place rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, leaving slight space between each roll. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and center is cooked through.
- For brown butter glaze, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat.
- Whisk powdered sugar into brown butter until smooth. If too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to reach desired consistency.
- Remove rolls from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle generously with brown butter glaze before serving warm.
Tips
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: To ensure your rolls rise perfectly, use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for flour.
- Warm Milk: Make sure the milk is warm but not hot; around 110°F (43°C) is ideal. This temperature activates the yeast without killing it.
- Kneading Technique: If kneading by hand, don’t rush the process! Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, which usually takes about 6-8 minutes.
- Perfect Rolling: When rolling out the dough, aim for an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. Use plenty of flour to prevent sticking.
- Rising Time: For the second rise, a warm, draft-free area works best. You can preheat your oven for a minute, then turn it off and place the covered rolls inside.
- Glaze Consistency: If your brown butter glaze is too thick, simply whisk in a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these rolls warm for the best experience, and consider pairing them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat!
