Cinnamon Roll Recipe

For this recipe, you'll need some warm milk, sugar, melted butter, yeast, flour, egg, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and more butter for the filling. I like to think of the process of making cinnamon rolls as a journey - one that I never expected to take, but am glad I did. The warmth of the milk mixed with the sugar and yeast always brings me back to those days when my daughter was just a little bundle of joy.

First, you'll want to mix the warm milk with some sugar and yeast, letting it sit until it becomes frothy. It's amazing how these simple ingredients can work together to create such a delicious treat. Next, you'll want to add in the melted butter, flour, egg, and salt to create a sticky dough. I used to struggle with dough making, but now it's almost like second nature to me, thanks to my daughter's persistence.

After letting the dough rise, it's time to roll it out and spread a generous amount of cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter on top. As you roll up the dough, the sweet aroma of cinnamon fills the air, reminding me of the time when my daughter used to crawl around the kitchen, curious about everything. Once the rolls are sliced and baked to perfection, the gooey goodness that comes out of the oven always brings a smile to my daughter's face. And for that, I'll keep making these cinnamon rolls, no matter how old I get.
