Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease the baking dish lightly.
- Mix flour, sugar, and yeast together in a large mixing bowl evenly.
- Stir warm milk, melted butter, and egg into the dry ingredients gently.
- Knead dough briefly until smooth and slightly elastic for soft roll texture.
- Roll dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter across the surface.
- Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough completely.
- Roll dough tightly into a log and slice evenly into rounds carefully.
- Arrange rolls in the baking dish and bake until lightly golden and fluffy.
- Cool rolls slightly before icing or serving for gooey texture and easier handling.
Notes
For softer cinnamon rolls, avoid adding too much flour and remove rolls promptly after baking. Bake slightly longer for crispier edges. Freeze unbaked rolls tightly wrapped for future breakfasts later. Cool briefly before icing neatly. Add pecans, raisins, or maple glaze for flavor changes. Store rolls covered for up to four days.
