Description

These classic cinnamon rolls are the ultimate comfort food, featuring a tender, fluffy dough that rises to perfection. The interior is generously filled with a warm blend of cinnamon and sugar, creating a sticky, aromatic swirl in every bite. Freshly baked, they emerge from the oven golden brown and soft, ready to be smothered in a simple vanilla glaze. Perfect for lazy weekend mornings, holiday breakfasts, or as a sweet treat with afternoon coffee. While the recipe requires some patience for rising, the result is a homemade pastry that rivals any bakery. These rolls are best enjoyed warm, when the cinnamon flavor is most pronounced and the texture is at its most delicate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in milk, vanilla, and the dissolved yeast mixture.
  4. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough to release air and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  8. Divide the dough into equal portions, roughly 1.25 pounds each.
  9. Roll each portion into a rectangular sheet, approximately 1/4 inch thick and 12 inches wide.
  10. Brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
  11. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side, like a jelly roll, and pinch the seam to seal.
  12. Cut the logs into 1-inch wide slices.
  13. Place rolls cut-side down on greased baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch space between them.
  14. Cover and let rise again for about 45-60 minutes until doubled in size.
  15. Bake at 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  16. Remove from oven and apply glaze while the rolls are still warm.
