    How to Make Cinnamon Roll Delight

    1. Prepare Yeast Mixture

    Warm the whole milk to 110 degrees and whisk in sugar. Sprinkle in the active dry yeast, give it a gentle stir, and let it sit until foamy.

    2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt.

    3. Form Dough

    Add the warm milk mixture, egg, and melted unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough. Knead until smooth.

    4. First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

    5. Chill Dough

    Chill the risen dough in the fridge to make it easier to handle and to develop flavor, for at least one hour or overnight.

    6. Prepare Filling

    Mix light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt with melted butter to create a paste for the filling.

    7. Shape Rolls

    Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, roll it up, cut into pieces, and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise until puffy.

    8. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake the rolls for 32-35 minutes until golden brown.

    9. Glaze Rolls

    Whisk together confectioners' sugar with whole milk or heavy cream and drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality Cinnamon

    Use freshly ground or high-quality cinnamon like Ceylon for a more aromatic and less bitter profile.

    Watch the Bake Time

    Monitor rolls towards the end of baking and remove when just golden brown and center reaches 190°F (88°C).

    Knead and Proof with Precision

    Knead until smooth and elastic, and proof in a warm environment with a damp cloth for a light texture.

    Tight Roll and Slice

    Roll dough tightly and use dental floss or a sharp knife for clean cuts to maintain shape during baking.

    Warm Milk Activation

    Ensure your milk is at the ideal temperature, about 110°F (43°C), to properly activate the yeast for a fluffy rise.
