How To Make Maple Cinnamon Rolls

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

In a small saucepan, heat the milk, butter, and water over low heat until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add the warm milk mixture, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle of about 12×16 inches.

Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Drizzle the maple syrup over the filling.

Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log.

Cut the log into 12 equal-sized rolls. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each.

Cover the baking dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Add milk gradually until desired consistency is reached.

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.

Serve while still warm and enjoy!

EXPERT TIPS

Pour the glaze on the cinnamon rolls while they are warm : Trust me! You don’t want to sleep on this.

Use unscented dental floss to cut cinnamon rolls : Use this step if you don’t have a knife on hand.

Don’t forget to use a floured rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking : Otherwise the process will get pretty messy.
