Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to activate the yeast and develop flavor.
-
Add Eggs and Flour:
- Once the yeast mixture is bubbly and activated, add in the eggs, salt, and gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms.
-
Knead and First Rise:
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 1 minute until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for 20 minutes or until it doubles in size.
-
Prepare and Roll Out:
- After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small margin around the edges.
-
Add Cinnamon and Sugar:
- Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the buttered dough. Then, evenly distribute brown sugar and white sugar across the surface.
-
Roll and Slice:
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into rolls approximately 1 1/2 inches thick.
-
Arrange and Second Rise:
- Grease a baking pan and arrange the sliced rolls in it, leaving space between each roll for them to expand. Cover the pan with a towel and let the rolls rise again for about 15 minutes.
-
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
-
Frost:
- While the rolls are cooling slightly, prepare your favorite buttercream frosting or cream cheese frosting. Frost the warm cinnamon rolls generously.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the St. George Cinnamon Rolls warm, allowing the frosting to melt slightly over the top. Enjoy these decadent treats as a delightful breakfast or a sweet snack any time of the day.
