Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, white sugar, active dry yeast, and kosher salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a saucepan, heat milk and butter chunks over medium-low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture reaches 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
20 mins

Pour the warm milk mixture into the yeast mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour and the egg; beat for another 2 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of flour and knead until smooth. Continue kneading for an additional 10 minutes, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup of flour. Shape the dough into a ball. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs

Grease a bowl and place the dough inside. Turn the dough over to ensure the greased side is facing up. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. (Rise time: 1 hour)

05

Step
15 mins

Punch down the dough and let it rest. (Rest time: 15 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step
10 mins

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 8x24-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the butter, then sprinkle with chopped walnuts and raisins. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

08

Step
15 mins

Starting at the long edge closest to you, roll the dough into a 24-inch log. Slice the log lengthwise down the middle, creating two 24-inch long strips of dough. Place the dough strips next to each other with the cut sides facing up. Press one set of ends together and twist the strips around each other tightly, keeping the cut sides up. Pinch the ends together to secure the twist. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

09

Step
45 mins

Slice the twisted log into 6 equal pieces and press the ends of each piece together firmly to create rolls. Place the rolls in the prepared baking pan, pressing down gently to ensure they are an even height. Cover the pan and let the rolls rise until they have doubled in size. (Rise time: 45 minutes)

10

Step
10 mins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)

11

Step
25 mins

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown. (Bake time: 25 minutes)

12

Step
10 mins

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)

13

Step
5 mins

Mix confectioners' sugar and water together until you achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

For an extra-rich flavor, use European-style butter.
If you don't have walnuts or raisins, feel free to substitute with pecans or dried cranberries.
Ensure that the milk mixture isn't too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
Letting the dough rise in a warm environment will help it rise faster.
These rolls are best enjoyed warm, right after glazing.

    These are the best cinnamon rolls I've ever made! The twist method is genius.

  • German Mosciski

    The glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness. Not too overpowering.

  • Selmer Nader

    I added a pinch of cardamom to the dough, and it gave the rolls a lovely warm spice.

    My family devoured these in minutes! I'll definitely be making them again.
