I love making cinnamon rolls for breakfast in the fall. I make them using this pretty simple recipe that has always been a family favorite. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
Dough
2 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1 egg, at room temperature
2 tablespoons of butter, softened to room temperature
Filling
1 cup of brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
1 stick of butter, softened
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
2 tablespoons of milk
Glaze
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
