Ingredients:
Dough
Flour - I generally use all-purpose flour (plain flour) for these but bread flour works really well too. I have used both many times and they turn out great either way.
Sugar - White granulated sugar for a hint of sweetness
Butter - The butter adds a bit of flavor to the dough but also helps to control the texture. You may use oil instead if you like.
Egg - The egg will help in the rising process and make the dough softer and make the texture lighter.
Yeast - You may use active dry yeast or instant yeast. The yeast is what makes the dough rise and gives it a light texture. Yeast based doughs are my favorite!
Water - The main moisture element in the dough.
Milk - The milk will help to make a richer and softer dough.
Salt - The salt will add to the taste and bring out the flavors of the other ingredients. It also will help the dough after it is baked to not get stale.
Filling
Brown sugar - You can certainly use white granulated sugar in the filling too if you like.
Butter - oh yeah gotta have butter! This adds tons of flavor to the cinnamon rolls.
Cinnamon - Can’t have cinnamon rolls without ground cinnamon.
Vanilla extract - The vanilla will add flavor to the rolls.
Vanilla Glaze
To glaze or not to glaze that is the question. I make a glaze 50 percent of the time and a nice cream cheese frosting the other 50 percent of the time. It just depends on who I am making them for and what their preferences are.
Powdered sugar - the main sweet element in the glaze
Butter - This will add flavor to the glaze and help thicken it up
Vanilla extract - another flavor element
Milk - The main moisture element will add flavor as well as control the consistency.
