For the dough:

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (plus 1/4 cup)

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup of milk (heated to 120-130F for instant yeast, 110-120F for active dry yeast)
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1 egg

For the filling:

• 2 tablespoons of softened butter
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon

Frosting ingredients:

• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1:

Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Mix to combine.

Step 2:

Add the milk, oil, and egg. Stir to combine, then beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Add additional flour until a dough forms.

Step 3:

Flour your surface, then transfer the dough. Knead the dough – 150 turns for about 4 to 5 minutes. Cover the dough with plastic or a bowl and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 4:

Grease an 8-inch round pan. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.

Step 5:

Roll the dough on a floured surface until it measures 12″ x 9″.

Step 6:

Spread butter on top, then sprinkle the brown sugar cinnamon mixture.

Step 7:

Roll the dough from the 9″ end. Make sure not to roll too tightly. Cut 1/2-inch off from both ends, then cut the log into 8 even slices using a serrated knife or dental floss. Arrange them in the prepared pan.

Step 8:

Cover the pan with plastic, then let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 9:

Place in a preheated oven at 350F for about 15 minutes. Once done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 10:

Make the frosting. Mix powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl, then slowly pour the milk until you have the preferred consistency. Frost the cooled cinnamon roll, let it set, then serve.
