Cinnamon Rolls


Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 whole cup milk
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1/8 cup butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp butter, just about melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • Chopped walnuts or raisins
Ingredients For the sugar glaze
  • 3/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tsp melted butter
  • 2-4 tbsp milk (or just enough to make a thick consistency)
Directions
  1. To make the Sugar Glaze:Whisk together the sugar, butter and milk till it reaches a thick, but slightly pourable consistency.
  2. To make the Rolls:In a large bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour and yeast. Heat the milk, 1/8 cup sugar, 1/8 cup butter and salt just until mixture is warm (not hot) and the butter is just melted, stirring slowly.
  3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; add the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Dough will be soft.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make moderately soft dough (3 to 5 minutes total).
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl & cover; let it rise in a warm place until double (about 1 to 1.5 hours).
  6. Punch dough down. On lightly floured surface roll out half of the dough into a rectangle/oblong.
  7. Spread generously with 1.5 tablespoons softened butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half over the stretched dough. Sprinkle the nuts/raisins if you are using them. Roll up from a short side.Seal the edges.
  8. Make a second roll with remaining dough, in the same way as above.Slice each dough roll into 6-8 pieces.Arrange slices, cut side down, in a greased baking pan. Cover; let rise until nearly double (about 30 – 45 minutes). Do NOT skip this step.
  9. Bake rolls in a 360 F degrees oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until light brown. If required, to prevent over-browning, cover rolls loosely with foil the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking.Drizzle rolls with the already made Sugar Glaze. Serve warm.
