Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
Filling
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • rolling pin
  • small bowl
  • baking dish or cast iron skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour to the yeast mixture, mixing until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Assembly
  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the risen dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle.
  2. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
  4. Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, then pinch the seam to seal it.
  5. Cut the log into three equal pieces, each about 4 inches long.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or cast iron skillet.
  2. Arrange the three cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are slightly separated.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a cream cheese frosting once the cinnamon rolls have cooled slightly. Adjust baking time as needed, as oven temperatures can vary. Ensure your yeast is fresh for proper rising.
