I just made these and they are seriously heavenly. They are so good that I am actually going to delete my previous cinnamon roll recipe!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons bread flour
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- MAPLE ICING:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
Directions
- Warm milk and add yeast and 1 tsp. of sugar. Let sit until foamy. In your mixer, add the butter and maple syrup. Mix well. Add egg, salt, flour and yeast. On low speed, with a dough hook, let it knead for 10 minutes. Let rise until double.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into two 12-in. x 7-in. rectangles. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half over each rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to seal.
- Cut each roll into slices. Place cut side down in one greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes.
- Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, syrup and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Spread over warm rolls.
