These delightful Amish cinnamon rolls are soft, fluffy, and coated with a sweet glaze that makes them a breakfast favorite. They are perfect for sharing with family and friends!
In a bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast, letting it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Then, combine the melted butter, egg, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the yeast mixture to the butter mixture. Slowly fold in the flour until a dough begins to form. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Roll the dough into a rectangle and spread softened butter over it. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll tightly and slice into 12 pieces.
Arrange the rolls in a baking pan, cover, and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before drizzling with a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the rolls rise longer. These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven!
