Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a bowl, sprinkling the yeast on top. Let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, mix flour and salt. Add melted butter and the yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread with softened butter, then sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, and rainbow sprinkles evenly. Roll tightly from one edge to form a log and cut into equal pieces (about two inches thick).
- Arrange rolls in a greased baking dish close together. Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. For icing, whisk powdered sugar with vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
