🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup warm water
2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 egg

For the Filling

1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1In the breadmaker pan, combine flour, warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, milk, melted butter, and egg.
2Select the dough setting and press start.
3Allow the breadmaker to knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
4The dough should form a ball and pull away from the sides of the pan.
5Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the breadmaker and place it on a lightly floured surface.
6Roll the dough into a 10×15-inch rectangle using a rolling pin.
7Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
8In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the butter.
9Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side, to form a log.
10Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal pieces.
11Place the rolls, cut side down, in a greased 8-inch round baking pan.
12Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 15-20 minutes.
13The rolls should be puffy and light to the touch.
14Preheat the oven to 375°F.
15Bake the cinnamon rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
16Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
17While the rolls are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
18Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
19The glaze should be thick but pourable, and will set slightly as it cools.

Tips: For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of water in the dough. To make ahead, prepare the rolls up to step 3, then refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them rise and bake as directed.
