Quick Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Yields12 ServingsPrep Time45 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time1 hr

 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
 ¼ cup sugar
 2 tbsp butter
 1 egg
 1 package instant yeast
 ½ cup water
 ¼ cup whole milk
 1 tsp salt
For the Filling
  cup brown sugar
 ¼ cup butter
 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
 ¾ tsp vanilla extract
 ¼ tsp almond extract
1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast and salt.

2

In a glass measuring cup, combine the sugar, butter, water and milk. Heat in the microwave until the mixture is hot and the butter is almost melted. Add the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
Add the egg and mix until a soft and sticky dough forms.

3

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

4

Knead by hand (or use a mixer) on a lightly floured surface for 3-4 minutes.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow it to rest on the counter for 5 minutes.

5

Once the dough has rested, roll it out on the lightly floured surface until it measures a 16x9 inch rectangle.
Prepare the filling by combining all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl (except for the butter).
Spread the butter over the top of the rolled dough, then cover with the filling.
Tightly roll the dough and cut into 12 portions.

6

Place the rolls into a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish and gently press a piece of aluminum foil over top.
Turn OFF your oven and place the covered rolls inside to rise for 25 minutes.

7

Remove the rolls from the oven and turn ON your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Once heated, remove the foil and bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes.

8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
