Step by Step to Make Homemade Cinnamon Swirls
Making homemade cinnamon rolls requires accessible ingredients.
Ingredients for the Dough:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of warm milk
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 packet (10g) of dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
To begin, dissolve warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Then, add the dry yeast and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes until foam forms. Next, add the melted butter, egg, and salt. Afterward, gradually add the flour. Then, knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Letting the dough rest is a very important step for fermentation, ensuring the dough is light and soft.
After the dough has rested, roll it out, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Then, cut it into 3 cm slices and place them in a greased baking pan. Wait for an additional 20 minutes. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Allow it to cool, and then you can serve your homemade cinnamon rolls.
Creative Variations for Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
What do you think about creating new flavor combinations for the traditional homemade cinnamon rolls?
