  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Add melted butter, egg, salt, and 3 cups flour. Knead until smooth. Let rest.
  2. Make the Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out dough, spread butter, sprinkle filling, roll up, and cut into rolls.

  4. Glaze and Serve: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • To save time, use quick-rise yeast and warm, not hot, milk.
  • For extra richness, add cream cheese to the glaze or pour warm cream over rolls before baking for gooier centers.
