Serves 1
Directions
- 1Add 1 cup of warm milk, 5 tablespoons of sugar, and 2.5 tablespoons of active dry yeast to a glass container and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- 2Stir the mixture well before letting it set.
- 3Add the yeast mixture, a third of a cup of brown sugar, a teaspoon of cinnamon, two medium eggs, a tablespoon of vanilla, 5 cups of flour, and half a cup of melted butter to a large bowl.
- 4Use a stand mixer to knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
- 5After 10 minutes, the dough should not stick to your fingers.
- 6Oil your large bowl and let the dough rise for about 2 hours.
- 7While waiting, mix together a half a cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of cinnamon for the filling.
- 8Ensure the surface you're working on is clean and floured to prevent the dough from sticking.

- 10Spread soft butter onto the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly over it.
- 11Roll the dough tightly into a log.
- 12Use thread to cut the cinnamon rolls for a clean cut, rather than a knife.

- Make sure the surface you're working on is clean and floured to prevent sticking.
- Use thread to cut the cinnamon rolls for a clean cut, rather than a knife which could squash them.
- The dough should not stick to your fingers after kneading.
