Stir in the sugar, and let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.","Combine the egg, 2½ tbsp sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Mix in the milk mixture.","Combine the flour and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet mixture until it forms a dough.","Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes until it is smooth, stretchy, and no longer sticky. If it is still sticky, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a little bit of warm water.","Cover the dough in the bowl, and let rest for 5 minutes to make it more controllable because it becomes too soft and flexible to roll into the proper cylindrical shape.","Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and roll it out into a flat rectangle. Lightly dust the dough if needed to prevent sticking.","Spread the softened butter in a thin layer over the dough. Combine the sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it evenly over the butter.","Roll up the dough rectangle like a mat so you get a cylindrical log.","Cut the log into slices a few inches thick. Arrange the slices cut-side up in a baking pan.","Bake in the oven at 350°F until it turns golden brown.","Cool slightly and serve warm."],"categories":["Recipes for pastries","Recipes using butter","Recipes using ground cinnamon","Recipes using egg","Recipes using wheat flour","Recipes using granulated sugar"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":null,"difficulty":"medium","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Cinnamon_Rolls","source_ref":"4587184","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Cinnamon_Rolls&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"2ecfe75c7667d86a2b612cde119ec260a343ce2e62cc8df79cdf8958d8309ea8","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:42:59Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T14:42:59Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/cinnamon-rolls"}
