# Ingredients:
→ Dough Ingredients
01 -
4 cups plain flour
02 -
1/4 cup white sugar
03 -
1 teaspoon of salt
04 -
2 teaspoons dry yeast (active)
05 -
1/2 cup of melted butter (unsalted)
06 -
2 whole eggs
07 -
1 cup milk, warmed to around 110°F
08 -
2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
→ Topping
09 -
1 tablespoon melted butter (to brush)
10 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
11 -
1/4 cup table sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and stir together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Leave it for about 5-10 minutes so it foams up. Stir in the vanilla, eggs, salt, and melted butter. Slowly add the flour until you get a soft dough that isn’t sticky.
02 -
On a floured countertop, knead the dough for roughly 8-10 minutes until it feels elastic and smooth. Grease a bowl, pop the dough in, cover with a towel, and let it sit somewhere warm for 1-2 hours to double in size.
03 -
Punch down that dough once it’s risen and roll it out to a thin rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Brush it with the melted butter. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the dough. Roll it up tightly like a log and slice it into 12 pieces.
04 -
Place your cut rolls into a buttered baking dish. Cover it up and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
05 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, until they reach a lovely golden color. While they’re still hot, brush them with more melted butter.
06 -
Let the rolls cool a bit. Serve warm or let them sit out until room temperature before enjoying!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, add a drizzle of glaze or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before enjoying.

Keep them fresh by storing them in a sealed container for a few days.
