Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (one standard packet)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
Cinnamon Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Additional Toppings (optional)
- Extra melted butter for brushing
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the surface and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy, indicating it is activated.
- Knead the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until the dough comes together, then turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and set it in a warm place. Let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape Rolls and Second Rise: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each piece into a smooth roll and place them on a greased baking sheet. Cover the rolls again and allow them to rise for another 30-45 minutes until they look puffy and nearly doubled.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Prepare Cinnamon Butter: While the rolls bake, mix the softened butter with cinnamon and sugar thoroughly until combined and smooth.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush with extra melted butter if desired. Serve warm with cinnamon butter spread on top. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use whole milk warmed to about 110°F to activate the yeast properly without killing it.
- Make sure to knead the dough well to develop gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and softness.
- Allow full rising times to ensure fluffy and well-risen rolls.
- Brush rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for extra richness and shine.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving to restore softness.
