Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create these mouth-watering cinnamon swirls:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • Icing (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and knead to form a soft dough. If the dough is sticky, gradually add more flour until the desired consistency is achieved.
  4. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Spread the softened butter for the filling over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar evenly on top.
  7. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
  8. Place the sliced rolls onto a greased baking tray and cover again to let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon swirls for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Once baked, allow them to cool slightly before drizzling with icing, if desired.

Enjoy your warm, homemade cinnamon swirls! They make for a perfect treat to share with family and friends, or simply to indulge in yourself.
