Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add the milk-yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, then let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread melted butter over it.
- Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly across the buttered dough.
- Roll tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding nuts or raisins to the filling.
Ensure your milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
These rolls taste best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
