Resurrection Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Cook time: 20 Min Prep time: 2 Hr 20 Min Serves: 12
Yeast Dough Ingredients:
1/2 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt (can use less)
1/4 c butter, melted
1/2 c warm water (105-115 degrees)
2 pkg Fleischmann’s active dry yeast
2 large eggs, beaten
4 1/2 c all-purpose flour, may need a bit more or less, see directions
additional butter for coating bowls used and brushing on tops of baked rolls
Cinnamon Filling Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Butter, softened
1 Cup Sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
Directions:
Scald milk (bring just to a boil and remove from heat immediately.
Stir in sugar, salt, and butter.
Set aside and allow to cool to lukewarm.
Mix warm water and yeast. Stir until dissolved.
Combine Yeast Mixture, Milk Mixture and half of Flour Mixture
Beat until smooth.
Add remaining flour gradually, mixing as you go.
Your dough should be elastic and slightly stiff but not dry.
Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and very elastic.
This usually takes 8-10 minutes. (I used my KitchenAid mixer with the Kneading Hook for about 4-5 minutes)
Butter the inside of a large mixing bowl.
Put the dough in a bowl and turn dough over a couple of times to coat it all with the butter.
Cover bowl and place in a warm place so it can rise.
It will take about 1 hour to double in bulk.
At that time punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface, Roll Out to around 1/4″ in thickness.
