Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm whole milk (about 110°F)
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 6 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for the dough
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 5 1/2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, melted (or softened butter)
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 6 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for the filling
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons softened butter, for the filling
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk, for the glaze
Method
- Stir the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of the dough sugar together in a large bowl and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
- Whisk in the remaining dough sugar, the salt, the egg, and the melted shortening. Add the flour and mix to a soft dough.
- Knead on a lightly floured surface for 7 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour 30 minutes, until doubled.
- Stir the filling sugar and cinnamon together. Roll the risen dough out on a floured surface to a rectangle about 16 by 12 inches, with a long side facing you.
- Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the far long edge, and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the butter.
- Roll the dough up tightly from the long side nearest you, pinch the seam to seal, and place the log seam-side down.
- Cut the log into 12 equal rolls with a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss. Arrange them cut-side up in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan, cover, and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes, until puffy and touching.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the rolls for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden on top and cooked through in the center.
- Whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk together to make a thick but pourable glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve warm.
