Homebaked "Cinnamon Rolls"

HOME BAKED CINNAMON ROLLS:

Wonderfully light and not too sweet cinnamon rolls.  These puffy cinnamon rolls are delicious with a bite of mixed cinnamon, light brown sugar, unsalted soft butter into the dough.

For 2 DOZEN ROLLS you will need:

1 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105F to 115F)
1/2 cup milk, scalded and cooled
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup soft unsalted butter
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups of unbleached all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg
soft unsalted butter to brush after baking

CINNAMON BUTTER for filling (recipe below)
Mix 1/2 cup soft unsalted butter, 4 Tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tsp ground cinnamon.  Put it aside.

PREPARATION:
1)  In large bowl, dissolve yeast in the water.  Let stand 2 to 3 minutes.  Add milk, light brown sugar, soft unsalted butter and kosher salt.

2)  Beat in 2 cups of unbleached all purpose flour until mixture is smooth and satiny.  Add ground cinnamon and egg.  Add 1 cup more of unbleached all purpose flour, beating well. 

3)  Cover dough.  Let rest for 15 minutes.  Sprinkle some remaining flour onto a board.  Knead dough about 5 to 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic.  Add flour as needed.

4)  Place dough in oiled mixing bowl.  Turn over to oil top.  Cover.  Let rise 1 hour or until doubled.

5)  Turn out onto lightly oiled board.  Roll out to 20 inch square.  Spread with Cinnamon Butter.  Roll up jelly-roll fashion.  Slice into 24 pieces.  Place onto greased baking pans.  Let rise about 1 hour until doubled.

6)  Bake at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes.  Brush hot rolls with additional soft butter.
