Ingredients
To make these delicious rolls, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for the glaze)
How to Make Caramel Cinnamon Roll
Follow these steps to create your Caramel Cinnamon Rolls:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warmed milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 16×12 inches).
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the creamy sauce by whisking together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth.
- Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle with caramel sauce and then top with the creamy glaze.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm.
