Overnight Cinnamon Rolls Recipe


  • Author: Katherine

Ingredients

Scale

    • 4 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

    • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast

    • 1 tsp salt

    • 1 cup warm milk (dairy or plant-based)

    • 1/4 cup melted butter (dairy or dairy-free)

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1/2 cup brown sugar

    • 1 tbsp cinnamon

    • 1/4 cup raisins (or nuts, optional)

    • Icing (powdered sugar + milk, to taste)


Instructions

    1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
      In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

    1. Add Wet Ingredients:
      In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Gradually combine this wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

    1. Knead:
      Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

    1. First Rise:
      Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise overnight in the fridge. This slow rise develops the dough’s flavor and texture.

    1. Roll and Fill:
      The next morning, roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread with melted butter, and then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional raisins or nuts.

    1. Shape Rolls:
      Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

    1. Second Rise:
      Cover the rolls and let them rise for about 30 minutes until puffy.

    1. Bake:
      Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.

    1. Icing:
      Mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk to create a smooth icing. Drizzle over the cooled rolls and serve.
