Cinnamon rolls are a dessert that brings a touch of warmth and comfort to any home. These delicious pastries with a cinnamon flavor are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even as a delightful dessert. Here’s how to make them step by step to achieve a perfect result!

Ingredients needed:

For the dough:
- 500 g bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 75 g sugar
- 7 g dry yeast
- 240 ml warm milk
- 75 g melted butter
- 1 egg
- a pinch of salt

For the filling:
- 100 g brown sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 50 g soft butter

For the glaze (optional):
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. In another container, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture, then pour this mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.

2. Kneading the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

3. Preparing the filling: While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar with the ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Make sure the soft butter is at room temperature so that you can spread it easily on the dough.

4. Forming the rolls: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle approximately 40x50 cm on the work surface. Spread the soft butter on the dough, then evenly sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the entire surface. Roll the dough tightly lengthwise to form a cylinder.

5. Cutting the rolls: Cut the cylinder into 12 equal pieces, each about 4 cm wide. Place the rolls in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them to rise.

6. Second rise: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes until they become fluffy.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and nicely browned.

8. Glazing (optional): Meanwhile, you can prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with the milk. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over them for an extra touch of flavor.

9. Serving: The cinnamon rolls are served warm, alongside a cup of coffee or tea. You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for an extra flavor.

Practical tips:
- For an intense taste and aroma, use high-quality cinnamon.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.
- The rolls freeze very well. Wrap them in aluminum foil after they have completely cooled and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you want to serve them, let them thaw at room temperature and reheat them in the oven for a few minutes.

Enjoy these cinnamon rolls, a simple and delicious dessert that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones!

DOUGH: In a small bowl, gently heat the milk with a little butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt, heating just until the butter melts. Meanwhile, measure half the amount of flour into a bowl and add the yeast. Add the warm milk mixture to the flour, beat with a mixer until it becomes smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, lemon zest, and continue beating while adding the rest of the flour and lemon zest. Mix until it becomes a non-sticky dough in the food processor, or knead by hand for about 5 minutes. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume (1-2 hours). Here, after an hour and a half. Remove the dough from the bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the butter with sugar and cinnamon with a mixer; it’s not necessary for all the sugar to dissolve! Sprinkle flour on the work surface and shape the dough into a rectangle about 1-2 cm thick. Grease the sheet with the cinnamon mixture and add the raisins soaked in warm water beforehand. Roll it up. Brush the roll with a little oil and cut it into 12 or 18 pieces, placing them in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and letting them rest for another 15 minutes. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. If desired, dust with powdered sugar or make a glaze with powdered sugar! Enjoy your meal!
