Dough Recipe Needed
I’m on the hunt for a cinnamon roll dough recipe. So far, everything I’ve tried has turned out too “bready” or biscuit-like. Does anyone have a reliable recipe to recommend?

    Sure! For a soft and tender cinnamon roll dough, try this recipe:

    Soft Cinnamon Roll Dough

    Ingredients:
    – 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
    – 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    – 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
    – 1 teaspoon salt
    – 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F)
    – 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
    – 1 large egg
    – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions:

    1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

    2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warmed milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If using a stand mixer, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic. If you’re kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes.

    4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours.

    5. Roll and Fill: Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon generously over the butter.

    6. Shape Rolls: Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice it into 12-15 equal pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.

    7. Second Rise: Cover the rolls loosely with a towel and let them rise again until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.

    8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

    9. Optional Glaze: While the rolls are baking, you can make a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a splash of milk and vanilla. Drizzle it over the rolls after they cool slightly.

    This dough should give you soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls rather than a bready or biscuit-like texture. Enjoy your baking!
