INGREDIENTS

  • Liquid Ingredients

    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • 🧈 ⅓ cup butter
  • Dry Ingredients

    • 4 cups bread flour, divided
    • ½ cup white sugar
    • 2 ½ teaspoons rapid-rise yeast
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
    • 2 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • Fats

    • 🧈 ⅓ cup butter, softened
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

STEPS

1

Heat milk and 1/3 cup butter in a microwave-safe container in the microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until mixture reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C). If too cool, microwave for 15 seconds more; if too hot, let cool to proper temperature.

2

Whisk eggs lightly in a small bowl, adding a small amount of milk mixture at a time to temper eggs until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into the bowl of an electric stand mixer.

3

Mix together 3 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add to milk mixture and beat on low speed using the dough hook, scraping down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula as needed.

4

Add remaining 1 cup flour slowly, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Continue to knead on low speed until dough looks smooth, 7 to 10 minutes; dough will be sticky and the bottom will remain stuck to the bowl.

5

Pour oil over dough and turn to coat. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

6

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to shape into a small rectangle. Roll dough out into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle.

7

Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined. Spread 1/3 cup softened butter over dough and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll dough into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces.

8

Place rolls, cut-side down and almost touching, into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.

9

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

10

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately turn out onto a tray or plate to cool; this allows the inside mixture to drip back into the rolls as they cool.
