Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more for topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- Milk (as needed for frosting consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm. Stir in yeast and let it proof for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled.
- Create Filling: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and sprinkles in a bowl. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter on top, then sprinkle the filling evenly.
- Roll & Cut: Roll the dough tightly from one end to another to form a log. Slice into thick pieces (about 1 inch) and place in a greased baking dish. Let rise again for another 30 minutes.
- Bake & Frost: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla to create the frosting; drizzle over warm rolls.
