My Secret Ingredient
Ready For my secret ingredients that make this cinnamon rolls recipe different than all the rest? Vanilla Beans – I mix it into the melted butter before adding the cinnamon for a depth of flavor that can’t be beat.
Not only that, but I use it in the glaze as well. If you don’t have vanilla bean pods, that’s ok vanilla bean paste works just as well and in a pinch, you can use vanilla extract too.
How To Make Glazed Cinnamon Buns
In a small bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in a 1?4 cup of the hot milk (110°F) and set aside.
In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg.
Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in more flour as needed until dough is formed but still a bit sticky (this isn’t as easy to work with, but makes a lovely soft bun).
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1-2 hours.
Punch the down dough and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
Remove the beans from ½ vanilla pod by cutting down the center and scraping out the beans.
Add to the melted butter Spread vanilla melted butter all over the dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough.
Beginning at the 15-inch side, roll up the dough and pinch the edge together to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
Cut into 12 slices and place them about 2 inches apart in a greased 13×9 pan.
Let the rolls rise until they are doubled (about 45 minutes to an hour). Bake for 20 – 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Prepare the glaze and spread over the warm buns before serving.
