Cinnamon Rolls

(from mel100204’s recipe box)

Source: Beth Orey

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4c whole milk, warmed up (not super hot or it'll kill the yeast)
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 4T melted butter
  • 3 3/4 AP flour
  • 3/4t Salt
  • 1 1/4t dry active yeast

Directions

  1. Add sugar to warm milk and stir then sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit until foamy, about 5 min. I do this in my mixing bowl. Add in flour, salt, and melted butter. Mix with bread hook in mixer for about 7 min until forms a pretty ball, add flour if sticky. Pour a little more melted butter or some veggie oil over the ball of dough and roll it around to coat, then leave in bowl. Put saran wrap or towel over the top and put bowl in warm place to rise for 1 hour. After risen, punch down and roll out into huge rectangle. Pour 1c melted butter, 1c sugar, and a bunch of cinnamon all over rectangle. Roll up into one huge long roll and then cut into whatever sizes you want. Pour some melted butter into pans (I use 1 9×13 and 1 9×9 usually) and then put rolls into pan. (Right now you can put these into the fridge covered in saran wrap and let them sit over night, just make sure to let them warm back up for a couple hours before baking so they can come to room temp and rise). Back into warm place to rise for an hour. Then bake at 325 until golden brown – this can take 25-30 min from what I remember. Then top with your preferred icing!
