Ingredients
- 1 240ml whole milk
- 2 133g granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons 14g active dry or instant yeast
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 and 1/2 cups 563g all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 133g packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1Whisk the warm milk, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, and the yeast together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow mixture to sit for 5–10 minutes or until foamy on the surface.
- 2Add the remaining sugar and the butter and beat on medium speed until the butter is slightly broken up. Add about 1 cup (125g) of the flour, the eggs, and salt and beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the remaining flour. Beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes.
- 3Keep the dough in the mixer (and switch to the dough hook if you used the paddle) and beat on low speed for an additional 5 full minutes, or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 5 full minutes.
- 4Lightly grease a large bowl with oil, butter, or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover tightly. Allow to rise at room temperature for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- 5Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish (glass or metal) or line it with parchment.
- 6Punch down the dough to release the air. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle.
- 7For the filling: Spread the softened butter all over the dough. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together then sprinkle evenly on top. Tightly roll up the dough to form an 18-inch-long log. With an extra-sharp knife, cut into 12 even rolls, about 1.5 inches thick. Arrange in the prepared baking pan.
- 8Cover the pan and allow the rolls to rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
- 9Preheat the oven to 350°F (351°F).
- 10Bake for about 25–28 minutes or until they are lightly browned on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Remove pan from the oven and place pan on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes before icing.
