Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (440 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (around 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (6 g) salt
  • 3 tbsp (43 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, warmed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened (for cinnamon butter)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar (for cinnamon butter)
  • 1 tbsp (8 g) ground cinnamon (for cinnamon butter)
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract (for cinnamon butter)
  • Pinch of salt (for cinnamon butter)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C), sugar, and yeast. Stir lightly and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Add melted butter, warm milk, and the room temperature egg to the yeast mixture. Whisk gently to blend.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add flour and salt to the wet mix. If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and mix on low speed until a rough dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Knead for about 8–10 minutes by hand on a floured surface or 5–6 minutes in the mixer until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough gently and divide it into 12 equal pieces (about 2 oz / 57 g each). Roll each into a ball and place close together in a prepared 9-inch baking pan.
  7. Second rise: Cover the pan loosely and let the rolls rise for another 30–40 minutes until puffy.
  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  9. Prepare cinnamon butter while baking: Beat softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Serve warm: Brush tops of warm rolls generously with cinnamon butter. Save remaining butter for spreading at the table.

Notes

Ensure yeast activation by using water at the correct temperature (110°F). Knead dough until smooth and elastic but not sticky. Cover dough during rising to prevent drying. Use softened butter (not melted) for cinnamon butter for best texture. Brush rolls with cinnamon butter while warm for a glossy finish. Rolls can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Freeze cooled rolls for up to 3 months.
