Directions
-
Scald the milk and let it cool to lukewarm temperature.
-
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk along with 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of flour to create a sponge.
-
Let the sponge rise for about 30 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the remaining flour, salt, and remaining sugar.
-
Work the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until crumbly.
-
Add the egg yolks and the yeast sponge to the dry mixture.
-
Stir until combined, then knead by hand on a floured surface until the dough is smooth, elastic, and quite thick.
-
Add more flour if necessary for easier handling.
-
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and knead again for a few minutes.
-
Cover and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
-
Roll the dough into a rectangular sheet approximately 1/2 inch thick.
-
Sprinkle the dough liberally with melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar.
-
Roll the dough tightly into a log, similar to a jelly roll.
-
Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
-
Grease a baking sheet and place the rolls about 1 inch apart.
-
Let the rolls rise for 1 hour.
-
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
-
While baking, mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and hot water until smooth to make the glaze.
-
Remove rolls from the oven and ice them with the glaze while they are still hot.

Note
The basic sweet dough recipe yields enough for two dozen cinnamon rolls. If making only one dozen, you can freeze half of the dough for later use.
Ensure the milk is only lukewarm when adding yeast, as hot milk will kill the yeast and prevent rising.
For a vegan version, substitute the butter with vegan butter, egg yolks with flax eggs, and milk with a non-dairy alternative. Note that the provided nutrition data may not reflect these substitutions.
The rolls can be assembled and refrigerated overnight before baking. Allow them to come to room temperature and rise for an additional 30-60 minutes before baking.
Adjust the amount of hot water in the glaze to achieve your desired consistency; start with less and add more as needed.
