Indulge in Homemade Delight: An Easy Recipe for Soft and Scrumptious Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 230 ml warm milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons dry yeast (8g)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (8g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups wheat flour (360g)
- 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- Sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling
Preparation
Mixing the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, dry yeast, egg, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix until well incorporated. Gradually add the wheat flour, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Once the dough becomes too stiff to stir, knead it by hand until it reaches the desired consistency.
Resting the Dough
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes. This resting period allows the yeast to work its magic, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
Shaping the Rolls
After the dough has rested, gently press it to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into twelve equal portions. Place the dough balls on a floured surface, cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
Preparing for Baking
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll each dough ball into a disc and make three parallel slashes in the center of each disc with a knife. Arrange the prepared dough on a baking sheet, leaving enough space for expansion during baking.
Baking to Perfection
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overbrowning and ensure they remain moist and tender.
The Final Touch
Remove the perfectly baked rolls from the oven and sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. This final touch adds an extra layer of sweetness and warmth, elevating your cinnamon rolls to irresistible heights.
Serving and Enjoying
Now, the best part: serving and savoring your freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or dessert, these soft and fragrant treats are sure to bring smiles and warmth to any occasion. Gather your loved ones, brew a cup of tea or coffee, and relish every delicious bite.
