Take note
Be careful when handling hot oven trays and enjoy these cinnamon rolls in moderation—resisting the urge to eat them all at once may require superhuman willpower!

1

Mixing the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 packet of instant yeast, and a pinch of salt. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat ¾ cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until warm but not hot. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

2

Kneading the dough

Flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little extra flour.

3

Rising the dough

Grease a large bowl with oil and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

4

Rolling and filling the dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Brush the surface with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of ¾ cup of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.

5

Shaping the cinnamon rolls

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Cut the log into 12 equal slices using a sharp knife or dental floss. Place the slices in a greased baking dish, leaving some space in between for rising.

6

Final rise and baking

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before indulging.
