Ingredients

  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 3-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Nonfat Dry Milk
  • 1-1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Large Egg Plus Enough Warm Water To Make 1 Cup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 3/4 cups Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cups Butter, Softened
  • FOR THE ICING:
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    For the dough:
  2. 2
    In a stand mixer, add all the dough ingredients and mix until a smooth dough is formed. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  3. 3
    For the filling:
  4. 4
    Mix sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
  5. 5
    After dough has risen, turn it out onto work surface and roll into an 11x20 inch rectangle. Spread butter over dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the long end closest to you. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  6. 6
    Starting with long end farthest from you, roll dough toward you and the uncovered border. Use a serrated knife to gently cut the log in half, then cut each side of the log into 6 equal pieces. There will be 12 rolls.
  7. 7
    Place the buns in a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan and press down slightly on each roll. Cover rolls and let rise for 1 hour until puffy.
  8. 8
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool until slightly warm before icing.
  9. 9
    For the icing:
  10. 10
    Mix milk and sugar until smooth. Either drizzle freehand over the cooled rolls, or place in a resealable bag, snip off the corner, and ice the rolls.
