Steps
- Activate the Yeast: Combine 1 cup of warm milk and 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast in a bowl and let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
- Combine and Form the Dough: Add 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter and 2 large eggs to the yeast mixture and stir into the dry ingredients until a cohesive dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
- Shape the Rolls: Punch down the dough, roll it out to a large rectangle, spread with melted butter, and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinch the seam, and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Second Rise: Arrange slices in a greased baking pan, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F and bake rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Glaze the Rolls: Whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons of milk to create a glaze and drizzle over warm rolls.
