These one hour cinnamon rolls are super soft, delicious and slathered with an amazing melt-in-your-mouth frosting. Just as yummy as the classic cinnamon roll recipe!
Instructions1. In a small bowl, add warm water, yeast and 1 Tablespoon of sugar. Stir, and cover with a paper towel. Let sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
2. In a large bowl, stir together butter, milk, sugar and salt. Add yeast mixture and stir until combined. Add one cup of flour and stir until smooth. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time. Knead for 1-2 minutes.
3. Once dough is nice and soft, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot. Allow dough to rise for about 20 minutes. I like to warm the oven to 200°F with a small pan of water, turn it off and set the bowl in there to rise.
5. Once your dough has risen, punch it down and roll out on a floured surface. Spread softened butter onto the dough with a brush and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top. Gently press the sugar down into the butter. Then roll the dough up.
6. Cut the dough into one inch pieces with floss or a large knife. Place dough onto a buttered pie dish with rolls about 1 inch apart. Let rolls rise for about 15 minutes.
8. While the rolls are cooking, beat together the frosting ingredients in a large bowl and then spread on top of the rolls. You can add more milk or powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.
