Easy One Hour Cinnamon Rolls: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)
- Optional: icing for drizzling or powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Creating Easy One Hour Cinnamon Rolls is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (around 110°F) with the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter and egg. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the butter and egg mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
- While the dough is rising, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick on a floured surface.
- Spread Butter: Use softened butter to spread a thin layer over the rolled-out dough.
- Add Filling: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over the buttered dough.
- Roll Up the Dough: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
- Cut into Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
- Second Rise: Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased baking dish, cover, and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the Rolls: Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before adding icing or powdered sugar.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your delicious Easy One Hour Cinnamon Rolls while they are still warm!
