Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 C milk warm
  • 1 packet of yeast
  • C oil
  • ¼ C granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • C all-purpose flour

Filling

  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 C brown sugar
  • ¼ C cinnamon

Sugar Glaze

  • ¼ C hot water
  • ½ C granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk and the yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until the yeast has bloomed.
  • Next, add the oil, salt, and sugar, giving the mixture a stir.
  • Add 3 cups of the all-purpose flour and mix using the dough hook attachment, then add the rest until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Lightly flour a working surface, remove the dough, and knead by hand until smooth.
  • Let the dough proof in a greased bowl until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, melt together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Once the dough is doubled, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread out the cinnamon filling and leave ¼ inch uncovered on each side.
  • Next, fold the dough over itself by taking a short end of the rectangle and laying it halfway over the dough, then doing the same thing to the other side so that there is a total of three layers of dough. Use a knife to cut long strips of dough off of the rectangle. Twist the strip of dough around two fingers to form a rose shape and place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes until the dough starts to turn golden brown.
  • Dissolve the granulated sugar in the hot water and drizzle over rolls as soon as they come out of the oven. Enjoy!
