These sweet, cinnamon rolls drizzled in a glaze are super quick and easy to make!

Can you believe I have never tried cinnamon rolls until now?

My boyfriend absolutely loves cinnamon rolls, yet it has taken me this long to try them! I’ve been delaying making them for some time now, but I’ve finally got round to it. And I’m so happy I did – these are so  good!

Cinnamon rolls for breakfast every day from now on…

This recipe is so quick and simple to throw together. There’s no leaving them overnight. These will literally only take 2 hours (60 minutes of that is leaving the dough to rise) of your time! In 2 hours, you’ll have warm, sweet cinnamon rolls, drizzled in a glaze.

The dough is so buttery, soft, fluffy, and ever-so-slightly chewy. The cinnamon sugar filling, and the glaze makes the rolls deliciously sweet, it will taste like dessert for breakfast!

These cinnamon rolls were a hit in my house, and will have been made again and again by this time next week. I wasn’t kidding when I said “cinnamon rolls for breakfast every day”!

This recipe is perfect  if you are making cinnamon rolls for the first time (like me!), short on time, or just want a quick, warm, sweet snack.

Enjoy!

Yield: 11 - 12 rolls

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 250ml milk
• 56g unsalted butter
• 437g plain flour
• 50g granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 and ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 large egg

For the Cinnamon Filling

• 50g granulated sugar
• 50g brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 56g unsalted butter, melted

For the Glaze

• 56g unsalted butter, softened
• 250g icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 - 6 tablespoons hot water

Instructions

For the Dough

1. Place the milk, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot to touch.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 375g flour (not all the flour), sugar, yeast, and salt until combined.
3. Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg, and remaining flour, a bit at a time, until the dough gently pulls away from the sides of the bowl, and has an elastic consistency.
4. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for about 10 minutes.

For the Filling

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugars, and cinnamon until combined.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 14 x 8" in size. Using a spatula or pastry brush, spread the melted butter out evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the top. Beginning at the 14" side, tightly role up the dough, then pinch the seam to seal. Cut into 11 - 12 even slices and place in a lightly greased 9" pie dish. Loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil and allow to rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes. TIP: heat the oven to 200F/93C, then turn it off. Place the rolls inside and allow to rise.
3. When the rolls have risen, preheat the oven to 350F/176C. Remove the foil, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and cooked through. Let cool in the dish on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

For the Cinnamon Glaze

1. Whisk together the butter, icing sugar, and the vanilla. Add 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Drizzle over the warm rolls, and serve.
