Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, salt, and yeast. Set aside.
- Heat milk, water, and 1/2 cup of butter to 120-130ยฐF (49-54ยฐC).
- Add the heated mixture to the dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed with an electric mixer, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and eggs, then beat at high speed for another 2 minutes.
- Gradually add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough.
-
Chill the Dough:
- Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days. This chilling process allows the flavors to develop and makes the dough easier to handle.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
- Turn the chilled dough onto a floured board and divide it into three equal parts.
- Roll each part into a 12 x 9 inch rectangle.
- Brush each rectangle with melted butter.
- Combine 1/3 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
-
Roll and Cut:
- Starting from the short end, roll each rectangle up tightly.
- Seal the seams to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Cut each roll into 1-inch slices.
-
Bake the Rolls:
- Grease two 8-inch round pans and arrange 9 slices in each pan.
- Repeat the process until all slices are used up.
- Cover the pans and let the rolls rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the pans and cool them on wire racks.
- For an extra touch of sweetness, frost the cooled rolls with powdered sugar frosting if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy the heavenly aroma and taste of homemade cinnamon rolls!
