How to Make Gourmet Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour.
Stir well and let sit for 15 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and the activated yeast mixture.
Knead until you get a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1–1.5 hours).
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
Roll the dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Spread butter or margarine evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle generously with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Step 5: Roll and Slice
Roll the dough tightly into a log.
Cut into rolls about 2 fingers thick, leaving space between each piece.
Step 6: Bake
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
