• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoon Milk

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
9. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
10. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
11. Starting from one long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log.
12. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
13. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
14. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to make the glaze.
15. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls. Serve and enjoy!
