Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 – 7 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions:
-
6:00 PM: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, 1 cup sugar, and milk. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes, letting the yeast activate and create a frothy layer.
-
6:10 PM: While the yeast mixture is resting, in another bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons of sugar, salt, and flour until well combined.
-
6:20 PM: Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
6:30 PM: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature until 10:00 PM, allowing it to double in size.
-
10:00 PM: Once the dough has risen, divide it in half and let it rest for another 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
-
10:10 PM: Roll out each half of the dough into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
10:20 PM: In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter until well combined, creating a delicious cinnamon filling.
-
10:25 PM: Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over each rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
10:30 PM: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up each piece of dough into a log shape, sealing the seam by pinching it gently.
-
10:40 PM: Cut each log into 1-inch slices using a sharp knife or a piece of unflavored dental floss.
-
10:50 PM: Place the cinnamon rolls in a greased 8 1/2 x 13-inch baking pan, leaving some space between each roll to allow for rising.
-
11:00 PM: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight to allow the rolls to rise slowly.
-
Morning: Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
-
Morning: Remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
-
Morning: Once the oven is preheated, bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffy.
-
Morning: Remove the pan from the oven and let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly before serving.
-
Morning: Enjoy these decadent overnight cinnamon rolls warm, straight from the oven, and savor every gooey, cinnamon-filled bite!
