Recipe
Sprinkle yeast over warm water; add a pinch of sugar. Let stand 10
minutes, until foamy. Heat milk and 6 tablespoons butter over medium
heat until warm, 105 degree F to 115 degree F (butter may not melt
completely).
Combine dissolved yeast, milk mixture, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and
eggs in large bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until well combined. Add
3 cups flour and salt; beat until smooth. Stir in 2 cups flour, 1 cup
at a time, to make a soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead
dough 3 to 5 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if
needed. Place dough in a large greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk,
1-1/2 hours.
Melt remaining 1/4 cup ( 4 tablespoons) butter in saucepan. Combine
1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
Grease a 15x10-inch jelly-roll pan. Punch down dough. On lightly
floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 20x14-
inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle
with cinnamon sugar. From one long side, roll up jelly-roll style;
pinch seam to seal. Cut with a serrated knife into 18 slices, about 1
inch thick. Arrange slices cut side down in prepared pan. Brush
remaining melted butter evenly over tops of rolls. Cover with wax
paper and let rise until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degree F (180 C). Uncover rolls and bake 22 to 25
minutes, until lightly browned. Cool 15 minutes on wire rack. Remove
from pan.
Meanwhile, for the icing, beat confectioners' sugar and butter in
mixer bowl at medium speed until blended. Beat in 3 tablespoons milk,
vanilla, and pinch cinnamon until smooth. With a spoon, drizzle icing
evenly over tops of rolls.
Makes 18 rolls.
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare as directed above. Wrap well and freeze up to
1 month. Thaw at room temperature 4 hours.
