📜 A Brief History of Cinnamon Rolls
Originating in Sweden, where they’re known as “kanelbullar,” cinnamon rolls have long been a staple in European baking. The Swedish even have a holiday dedicated to them—Cinnamon Roll Day (Kanelbullens Dag) celebrated on October 4th. Over the years, these sweet swirls made their way into American kitchens and hearts, becoming breakfast icons and symbols of cozy mornings and heartfelt gatherings.
❤️ For the Lovers (of Food & Romance)
These cinnamon rolls aren’t just about sugar and spice—they’re about intention. They’re the kind of treat you make with music playing, maybe with flour on your nose and someone you love stealing a taste of the filling. They’re meant to be shared—across breakfast tables, lazy Sunday mornings, or late-night kitchen chats.
🛒 Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
- 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (not hot!)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
For the Creamy Vanilla Glaze:
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2–4 tbsp milk (to reach desired consistency)
🍴 Instructions & Method
Step 1: Activate the Love (and the Yeast)
- In a large bowl, mix warm milk with the sugar and yeast.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy and alive—like the butterflies before a first kiss.
Step 2: Make the Dough
- Add eggs, softened butter, and salt into the yeast mixture.
- Slowly add in the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a warm towel, and let rise for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 3: Roll It Out & Spread the Love
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
- Spread the softened butter all over.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over the butter.
Step 4: Roll & Slice
- Roll the dough up tightly from the long side to form a log.
- Slice into 12 even pieces and place in a greased 9×13 inch pan.
- Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Step 5: Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and your kitchen smells like heaven.
Step 6: Glaze & Melt Hearts
- Whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and milk.
- Pour over warm rolls and let it drizzle down like a soft lullaby.
