Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours 25 minutes

Servings: 8 rolls

Skill Level: Beginner

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Roll the dough into a 12×9-inch rectangle on a floured surface.
6. Spread the softened butter over the dough. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the buttered dough.
7. Roll the dough tightly from the long side, pinching the seams to seal. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
8. Lightly grease your crockpot or line it with parchment paper. Place the rolls cut side up in the crockpot.
9. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, until the rolls are fully cooked and fluffy.
10. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing.
11. Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.

Helpful Tips

For a quicker rise, you can preheat your oven to 200°F, turn it off, and place the dough inside to rise.

If you prefer, you can add a handful of raisins or chopped nuts to the filling for extra texture and flavor.

Storage Instructions

Crockpot Cinnamon Rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
