Diy Cinnamon Rolls

To make DIY cinnamon rolls, you will need:

• For the dough:
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
• For the filling:
  • 2/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
• For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy. Stir in the egg, egg yolk, and melted butter. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. While the dough is rising, make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over top.
5. Starting at the long end, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
8. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. While the rolls are baking, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10. Once the rolls are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the glaze.
11. Serve and enjoy!
