I can't think about the holiday season without automatically thinking about cinnamon rolls!
This recipe is my favorite for these rolls. When they come out of the oven they are so soft - almost the consistency of a fresh hot donut! Absolutely delicious. The trick is to be patient while the dough is rising. It takes about 1.5-2 hours for it to double at first but it's worth it!
Cinnamon Rolls:
3/4 cup milk, warm
1 envelope (2 1/4 tsp) yeast
3 eggs at room temp.
4 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
12 tbsp unsalted butter at room temp. (cut into 12 pieces)
Filling:
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter at room temp
Whisk milk, yeast and add eggs. In a large bowl mix together flour, cornstarch, sugar and salt. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and stir. Use your hand once the dough starts to come together. Add to a mixer with a dough hook attachment. Add butter, one tbsp at a time until all incorporated. Kneed for another 5 minutes. Cover and set aside for 1-2 hours until the dough has doubled in size. Roll out into a long rectangle. Mix filling ingredients and spread in the rectangle. Roll up the bottom of the dough until you have a long roll. Cut into individual pieces about 1 inch long and place in a greased baking pan or sheet. Let double in size again. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 35 min or until golden brown.
I frosted mine with a mixture of butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little bit of hot water. You can also make a cream cheese frosting for these.
