Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and melted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn out the dough. Knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x9 inches, using a rolling pin.
- In a separate small bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the filling.
- Spread the melted butter evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture uniformly over the buttered surface.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optional: Drizzle with vanilla glaze if desired.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is melted but not hot when mixing with milk to prevent potential dough separation.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
- For perfectly uniform rolls, use dental floss or a sharp serrated knife to cut the log.
- Allow the rolls to rest for 10 minutes after baking to set and become easier to remove from the pan.
- For extra moisture, cover the rolls with foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- If you want a glossy finish, brush the tops with a little melted butter right after baking.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the microwave for that fresh-baked taste.
