Directions and Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy and alive.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, salt, and egg. Mix until everything is well blended, creating a smooth base for your dough.
- Add the foamy yeast mixture into the bowl, stirring gently to combine.
- Gradually incorporate the flour, adding one cup at a time, until a soft dough begins to form.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic to the touch.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a warm towel, and let it rise in a cozy spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), filling your kitchen with warmth and anticipation.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, creating a perfect canvas for the delicious filling.
- Spread the luscious Biscoff cookie butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this heavenly mixture over the cookie butter, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly, creating a swirl of gooey goodness, and slice it into 12 equal rolls.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes to puff up delightfully.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and your kitchen smells irresistible.
- While the rolls are baking, whip up the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until it’s silky smooth.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling the warm frosting over the top. Then, it’s time to enjoy!
Notes or Tips
For an extra touch, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the filling for added texture and flavor. You can also prepare the rolls the night before. Simply assemble them, place them in the fridge overnight, and bake them fresh in the morning for a delightful breakfast treat!
Cooking Techniques
This recipe highlights the importance of proper dough rising, which creates that pillowy soft texture we all adore in cinnamon rolls. Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, ensuring a light, airy roll. Also, remember to keep your environment warm during the rising process – a cozy kitchen is key to achieving that perfect rise!
FAQ
- Can I use a different type of filling? Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other spreads like Nutella or almond butter, or even a classic cinnamon-sugar filling.
- How do I store leftover cinnamon rolls? Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. These rolls also freeze wonderfully!
