Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (420g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, warmed to about 110°F (43°C)
  • 2 ¼ tsp (one packet) active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (for cinnamon butter)
  • ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar (for cinnamon butter)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for cinnamon butter)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (for cinnamon butter)
  • Pinch of salt (for cinnamon butter)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by stirring warm milk (110°F/43°C) with sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk the egg and melted butter together until combined.
  3. Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the wet ingredients and stir gently.
  4. Add 3 cups (360g) of flour and salt to the wet mix. Stir until dough begins to come together.
  5. Gradually add remaining flour, kneading until dough is soft, slightly sticky but not clinging to hands or bowl (6-8 minutes by hand or 4-5 minutes with mixer).
  6. Shape dough into a ball, place in greased bowl, cover with damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in warm spot for 60-75 minutes until doubled.
  7. Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal portions (~2 oz or 57g each), roll into balls, and place side-by-side in greased 9×13-inch pan.
  8. Cover pan loosely and let rolls rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffy.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches about 190°F (88°C).
  10. While rolls bake, beat softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  11. Brush warm rolls with melted butter if desired and serve immediately with a dollop of cinnamon butter.

Notes

Use warm milk at about 110°F to activate yeast properly. Knead dough until soft and elastic but not sticky. Keep dough covered during rising to prevent crust formation. Softened butter is key for creamy cinnamon butter. Rolls are best served warm but can be frozen and reheated.
