Yields: 9-12 rolls | Prep time: 2 hours | Bake time: 20-25 mins
Ingredients
For the Dough:
• Warm Milk: 1 cup (approx. 45°C)
• Yeast: 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry or instant yeast
• Sugar: ½ cup granulated sugar
• Butter: ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• Egg: 1 large egg, room temperature
• Flour: 4 to 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chew)
• Salt: 1 tsp
For the Filling:
• Butter: ½ cup unsalted butter, very soft
• Brown Sugar: 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
• Cinnamon: 2 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
• Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts (as seen in your image)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix the Dough: Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
5. Roll and Fill: Punch the dough down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (approx. 12x18 inches). Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
6. Shape: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Use unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch thick slices.
7. Second Rise: Place rolls into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
8. Bake: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
