Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • Pastry Cutter optional
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking pan approx 10"x15"

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 ½ tsp Yeast instant or dry active
  • ½ cup Warm Water 100-110° F
  • 3 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder leave out for high altitude
  • 1 ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Butter COLD
  • ¾ cup Cold Water

Filling & Topping

  • 6 tbsp Butter melted
  • ¾ cup White Sugar
  • 3 tsp Cinnamon ground

Instructions

  • PREHEAT OVEN - preheat oven to 350° F.
  • MIX YEAST & WARM WATER - in a small bowl combine the yeast and warm water (100-110° F), set to the side.
  • MIX DRY INGREDIENTS - in a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • CUT IN BUTTER - add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix in the butter until the pieces of butter are pea size or smaller.
  • ADD IN WATER - add the warm yeast mixture into the flour and the cold water into the flour.
  • KNEAD - sprinkle a small amount of flour on a clean surface and knead the dough for 1-2 minutes. Set the dough to the side for 10 minutes in a warm place.
  • MIX SUGAR & MELT BUTTER - melt the butter for the filling and separately mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  • DIVIDE & ROLL OUT THE DOUGH - divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (this helps rolling out the dough into equal sizes). Roll each piece of dough into a rectangular shape approximately 5 inches x 10 inches. The dough should be 1/4 inch thick and no more than 5 inches wide.
  • ADD FILLING - brush each rolled out dough with melted butter and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar onto the butter.
  • ROLL UP - roll each rectangle up, starting on the long side. Place each of the 4 rolled up dough on the baking sheet seam side down.
  • CUT THE ROLLS - Cut each rolled up dough every 1-1.5 inch ONLY 3/4 of the way through. This will help the rolls keep their shapes while baking.
  • ADD BUTTER & SUGAR - brush the tops of the long rolls with melted butter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top of the butter.
  • BAKE - bake for 20-25 minutes and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

STORAGE - cool completely and place in airtight container for up to 5 days. The rolls are best served immediately for soft, fluffy rolls, note the rolls will become more dense when stored.
