<h3>2. Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls</h3>
Cinnamon rolls are the ultimate breakfast or afternoon treat. Soft, fluffy, and topped with a deliciously sweet glaze, they make for the perfect indulgence. Here's a recipe that's surprisingly easy to make and yields a batch of mouthwatering rolls.
<b>Ingredients for Dough:</b>
• 1 cup of warm milk
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
<b>Ingredients for Filling:</b>
• 1/2 cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
<b>Ingredients for Glaze:</b>
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
<b>Instructions:</b>
1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar, then stir in the yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a cloth. Let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches).
5. Spread the softened butter for the filling evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.
6. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish.
7. Let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes before baking them for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Drizzle it over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
These fluffy, sweet rolls are the ultimate comfort food. They'll make your home smell amazing and your taste buds even happier!
