Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (57g) lukewarm water
• 2 tablespoons (28g) sugar
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons (45ml) melted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
• For the filling:
• ¼ cup (55g) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Step 1: Making the Dough

In a bowl, mix together the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast until dissolved. Then add the melted butter, salt, egg, and flour, stirring to combine until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.

Step 2: Rolling Out the Dough

Once the dough has rested, roll out into a rectangle shape approximately 14×12 inches in size. Spread the softened butter over the top of the rolled out dough. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the butter. Roll up tightly from one long side and cut into 12 even pieces.

Step 3: Assembling the Cinnamon Rolls

Arrange each piece cut-side down into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F while they rise.

Step 4: Letting It Rise Overnight in the Refrigerator

For best results, refrigerate overnight after rising to allow flavors to develop. The next morning preheat your oven to 375°F and bake rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Baking the Rolls

Remove from oven and brush lightly with butter if desired. Allow to cool before serving.

Serving Suggestions
