Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute with a gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (reduce for a less sweet roll)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (ensure it’s fresh for best results)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (enhances flavor)
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F, can substitute with almond or soy milk)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or margarine/coconut oil as alternatives), melted
  • 2 large eggs (or egg replacers for vegan versions)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (can swap with vanilla bean paste)

Topping and Finishing

  • Additional melted butter for brushing
  • Sugar and a dash of cinnamon for sprinkling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting before serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar to activate the yeast. Wait a few minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. Then add the all-purpose flour, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in the melted butter until a soft dough starts to form.
  2. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Shape the rolls: Roll the risen dough into a rectangular shape. Brush generously with melted butter, sprinkle evenly with sugar and a dash of cinnamon. Roll up the dough tightly and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Second rise: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish. Cover them with a cloth and allow them to rise for an additional 30 to 45 minutes until puffed up.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or until they develop a beautiful golden brown crust.
  6. Cool and serve: Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a shiny finish. Allow them to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum or a similar binder.
  • Use plant-based milk and egg replacers to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • The sugar amount can be adjusted to your taste preferences; reduce for less sweetness.
  • Properly proofing the yeast is essential for soft and fluffy rolls.
  • Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • To enhance flavor, vanilla bean paste can be used instead of vanilla extract.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container and reheat gently for freshness.
