Description
Delicious and fluffy cinnamon rolls with a spooky twist, perfect for Halloween gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 large egg (or flax egg)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (for icing)
- Colorful sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes. Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix in flour one cup at a time until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling: While the dough rises, mix together softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Roll the dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly across the dough.
- Roll and cut: Roll the dough tightly and slice it into about 12 even pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
- Second rise: Cover the dish with a cloth and let the rolls rise again until doubled, 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Icing: Mix powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth, adding vanilla if desired. Drizzle the icing over the warm rolls before serving.
- Decorate: For a spooky touch, sprinkle edible glitter or colored sprinkles on top before serving!
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and give the dough enough time to rise.
