Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm whole milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 3 cups (360g) bread flour (all-purpose flour can be substituted)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted + extra for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon (for butter spread)
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (for butter spread)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream (for butter spread)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast (5 minutes): Warm milk to about 110°F (43°C). Pour into a bowl, sprinkle yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar over the top. Let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
  2. Mix the dough (10 minutes): In a large bowl or mixer, combine bread flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and foamy yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Add flour if too sticky.
  3. Knead the dough (8 minutes): Knead by hand or with dough hook until smooth, elastic, and not sticky.
  4. First rise (1 to 1.5 hours): Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm spot until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the rolls (5 minutes): Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place on lined baking sheet with space between.
  6. Second rise (30-45 minutes): Cover rolls loosely and let rise until puffy and nearly doubled.
  7. Bake (15-18 minutes): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
  8. Make the cinnamon butter (5 minutes): Beat softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream until smooth and spreadable.
  9. Brush and serve (immediate): Brush hot rolls with melted butter and serve warm with cinnamon butter spread.

Notes

Use bread flour for best texture or add 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten to all-purpose flour. Check milk temperature carefully to avoid killing yeast. Brush rolls with melted butter immediately after baking for soft crust. Make cinnamon butter while rolls bake for freshness. Rolls can be frozen before second rise and baked fresh later.
