Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (for cinnamon butter)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (for cinnamon butter)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for cinnamon butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for cinnamon butter)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (110°F / 43°C), sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir to combine until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Knead on medium speed with dough hook until smooth and elastic (8-10 minutes) or by hand on a floured surface until soft and slightly tacky but not sticky.
  4. First rise: Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough gently to release air. Divide into 12 equal pieces (about 60g / 2 oz each). Shape each into a smooth ball and place close together in a greased baking dish or on a baking sheet.
  6. Second rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise until puffy and nearly doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden brown on top.
  8. Make cinnamon butter: While rolls bake, combine softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix until creamy and spreadable.
  9. Serve warm: Brush rolls with melted butter right after baking for extra shine and softness. Serve with cinnamon butter spread on the side or slathered on top.

Notes

Use fresh yeast for best results. Milk temperature is crucial for yeast activation (110°F). Add flour sparingly during kneading to avoid tough rolls. Brush rolls with melted butter immediately after baking to keep crust soft. Store rolls in airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days refrigerated. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months. Reheat at 300°F for 5-7 minutes wrapped in foil.
