Cinnamon rolls, with their intoxicating aroma and comforting flavor, are a delicacy that has earned a special place in the world of baking.  This classic recipe not only offers a treat for the palate, but also creates a dining experience that evokes warmth and happiness.

Ingredients:

Ingredients for the dough:
1 cup of warm milk,
2 packages (14 g each) active dry yeast,
1/2 cup of sugar,
1/3 cup melted butter,
4 cups of all-purpose flour,
1 teaspoon salt,
2 eggs.

Ingredients for the stuffing:

1 cup of brown sugar,
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup melted butter.  Ingredients for the glaze:
1 cup of icing sugar,
1/4 cup melted butter,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
2-3 tablespoons of milk.

Preparation: For the dough:

In a small bowl, combine the yeast with the warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar.  Let sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the mixture is foamy.  In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.  In another large bowl, beat the eggs, add the sugar and melted butter.  Add the yeast mixture.  Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth dough.  Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes.  Next, place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest and rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

For the filling:

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.  Roll out the dough on a floured surface forming a rectangle.  Spread the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly.  Roll the dough from one of the longer sides to form a cylinder.  Cut the cylinder into slices of approximately 2 cm.  Place the slices on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

To bake:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).  Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

For the glaze:

In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and milk until smooth.  Pour the glaze over the still warm cinnamon rolls.  Ready!  Now you can enjoy some delicious homemade cinnamon rolls.  Enjoy!
