Description
A recipe for soft, sweet rolls made from scratch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (for filling)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm. Stir in the 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, and salt until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Beat in the egg. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.
- Punch down the dough. Roll it out into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the 1/2 cup softened butter evenly over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture over the butter.
- Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- You can make a simple glaze using powdered sugar and a little milk to drizzle over the warm rolls.
- For softer rolls, cover the pan with aluminum foil for the first 10 minutes of baking.
