Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter, (softened)
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the butter and the sugar until well incorporated.
  • Add the egg and beat into the butter and sugar.
  • Next, add the milk and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and beat well to combine.
  • When a dough is formed, place the dough into the fridge to cool for 15 minutes.
  • While the dough is cooling, whisk together the brown sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Once the dough has cooled, half the dough and roll dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/16th of an inch thick. Try to get the dough into a square shape - it won't be perfect!
  • Use a pastry brush to brush half of the butter over the surface of the rolled dough.
  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
  • Carefully lift the dough slightly from one end and begin rolling the dough into a long cylinder, working your way down the side of the rolled dough. Try to roll as tightly as possible without breaking or tearing the dough.
  • Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the rolled dough into one inch slices. Place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving two inches of space between each roll.
  • Next, whisk together the egg and the water. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the top and side of each cinnamon roll.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • Repeat with the remaining half of dough.

THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS



The Best Cinnamon Rolls image

Once you've tried "from-scratch" cinnamon rolls, you'll never go back! The secret to our rolls is the wet, buttery dough and double rising time. Once baked, they will be light and pillowy and full of buttery cinnamon goodness on the inside.

Time 4h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup whole milk, warmed to 110 degrees F
One 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Notes)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
2 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk together the whole milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit 10 minutes to dissolve; you will see a few bubbles, but the mixture won't be foamy. Whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt in a small bowl.
  • Add the bread flour, whole-wheat flour, milk powder and beaten eggs to the yeast and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Fit the bowl in place on the stand mixer and fit the mixer with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together but is still slightly tough, about 3 minutes. Increase the speed to high and add 10 tablespoons of the butter a tablespoon at a time (the dough will look broken after each addition, but it will eventually come together) and beat until the dough is smooth, elastic and very tacky but pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 12 minutes. (This may seem like a long time, but the texture of the bread improves with a long knead time.) Alternatively, knead the dough on a surface lightly dusted with bread flour, adding 1 tablespoon of butter at a time, until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until it has a buttery, yeasty smell and has doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes. (If your kitchen is warm, check it at 35 minutes. It should smell buttery and yeasty, and if it's doubled, it's done. If not, check again in 10 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the dark brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl until no lumps of sugar remain. Smash in the remaining 12 tablespoons butter with a rubber spatula and stir until completely combined.
  • Place a large sheet of parchment paper on a clean work surface and heavily dust with bread flour. Gently deflate the dough by lifting it up around the edges and letting it fall back into the bowl, turning the bowl and repeating if needed. Place the dough on the paper. Roll the dough into a 12-by-15-inch rectangle, pushing the edges towards the center to make straight sides. Spread the brown sugar mixture over the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Starting from a long end and using the parchment to help you, tightly roll the dough into a log, pressing the sides occasionally to keep them flush. Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up the dough.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Cut the dough crosswise into 12 pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the pan in a uniform 3-by-4 grid. There will be about 1/4 inch between each roll and that's ok, the rolls will fill in the gaps as they proof and bake. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free area, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until golden brown on top and baked all the way through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for about 30 minutes before glazing.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, adding more cream if necessary to make a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and serve warm.

6 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cinnamon sugar mixture for best flavor. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the dough tough.
  • Let the dough rise until it is doubled in size. This will ensure that the cinnamon rolls are light and fluffy.
  • Roll the dough out evenly. This will help to ensure that the cinnamon rolls are all the same size.
  • Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough. This will help to ensure that each cinnamon roll has a good amount of cinnamon sugar.
  • Roll the dough up tightly. This will help to keep the cinnamon sugar mixture inside the cinnamon rolls.
  • Cut the cinnamon rolls evenly. This will help to ensure that they all bake evenly.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls at the proper temperature and for the proper amount of time. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through and that the cinnamon sugar mixture is melted and bubbly.
