Items needed to answer the question, How do I make Spiral Swirled Cinnamon Rolls. Items include: All-purpose flour Sugar Salt Instant yeast Warm milk Butter, melted Egg Brown sugar Ground cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg

All-purpose flour 2 cups
Sugar 2 tablespoons
Salt 1 teaspoon
Instant yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
Warm milk ½ cup
Butter, melted ¼ cup
Egg 1
Brown sugar ½ cup
Ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons
Pinch of nutmeg 1 pinch

Take note
Handle the dough with care and avoid over-baking the cinnamon rolls to prevent them from becoming dry.

1

Prepare the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 ¼ teaspoons of instant yeast. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of warm milk, ¼ cup of melted butter, and 1 egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

2

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size. This is a great time to catch up on your favorite TV show or even take a nap!

3

Roll out the dough

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about ¼ inch. Now comes the fun part!

4

Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture

In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Spread a generous layer of this cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Make sure to leave a small border along the edges.

5

Roll it up and slice

Starting from the long side of the rectangle, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape. Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice the log into about 12 equal pieces. If you're feeling adventurous, you can play some intense theme music while doing this step. *cue Mission Impossible theme*

6

Bake to perfection

Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll for them to expand. Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

7

Enjoy the swirled delight

Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and get ready to savor the warm and comforting aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. They're best enjoyed when they're still warm from the oven, but don't worry if you can't resist and eat them all. You can reheat any leftovers in the microwave for about 15 seconds to bring back their soft, gooey center.
