What you need:
Your going to need your yeast mixture to start with. I be making at least 2 recipes for the cinnamon roll to make it worth the wait.
Using my favorite mixing bowl,
I put 1/2 cup warm water and added 1 tbsp yeast.
Add 1 tbsp sugar
Mix all 3 ingredients until combined.
Set the mixture aside until the mixture is frothy and bubbly (about 5 mins).
Meanwhile, lightly grease the bowl/container with butter. This prevents the dough from sticking.
For the dough you need:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter (melted)
Melt the butter
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (more for dusting)
Instructions:
Pour the yeast mixture in a bowl.
Add sugar, salt
Flour
Eggs
Melted butter and milk
Using a dough hook, mix all the ingredients.
Continue to mix until the incorporated.
Add more flour to the mixture until dough is not sticking on the bowl.
Continue to knead. Dough has to be soft.
Remove the dough from the bowl. Add flour to prevent the dough from sticking. This is how it should look like.
Place the bowl in a greased container/bowl. Set aside and let it rise. It should double in size.
Dough is now ready.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture.
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
Dust the counter with flour.
Put the dough on the counter.
Roll out the dough.
Coat one side of the dough with 1/2 cup butter (softened).
Pour the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the dough. Spread the mixture.
Roll out the dough.
Using a dough cutter cut the rolled dough.
Place each roll on a greased baking pan.
Set aside and let it rise for another 40 mins.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 25-30 mins.
The the buns out of the oven. Let it cool.
Topping:
1 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3 tbsp milk
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Combine all ingredients. Mix all ingredients using a wire whisk. Drizzle the mixture on the warm buns.
Serve. Share. Enjoy.
