Recipe For Cinnamon Rolls

I use a stand mixer to make the dough. If you have one, it will make your job much easier!

Put the water and the yeast into the mixer's bowl. Let it sits until it get foamy.

Then add the sugar, flour, egg, salt, and potato starch.

On top of the last ingredient, add the melted butter and the milk. Make sure this mixture is not hotter than 110 degree or it will kill the yeast.

Let sit for 5 minutes.

Use your dough hook and turn the machine on. Once well blended, let the mixer mix the dough for a couple of minutes.

If you do it my hand, first mix with a fork until this gets to difficult. Then, lightly flour your hands and mix and knead the dough until it is soft and pliable.

When the mixing is done, remove the dough hook and leave the dough in the bowl.

Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled - about 1 hour.

After the dough as doubled, punch down and turn onto a lightly floured surface.

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.

Brush the softened butter on top.

Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon and spread over the butter.

Finally, add the nuts.

With a pastry brush, wet one long end of the rectangle with some cold water.

Roll the dough toward that end - the water will act as "glue."

Use a good serrated knife and cut the roll unto slices - the thickness depends on you. I cut mine 3/4 to 1 inch.

Place each roll into a buttered 9x13 dish.

Again cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place in a warm place and let rise until doubled - 45 minutes to one hour.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Make the glaze and pour on the warm rolls.

Note: To make the glaze, it is so simple..just mix all the ingredients with a fork or even better a whisk.

Voila! You are done!
