Heart-Shaped Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet active quick rise yeast
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- maraschino cherry
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the milk and butter. Stir until melted & remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups flour, sugar, salt. Add the yeast and the milk mixture. Stir to combine well, then add the egg and mix well.
- Using the dough hook attachment on your mixer, knead while slowly adding in 1 cup of flour until the dough forms a ball & pulls away from the edges of the bowl. You can also knead by hand.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted butter on top. Combine cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle the mixture on top of the dough.
- Cut the dough into 10 strips and make each strip into a heart shape. Transfer the cinnamon roll onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the rolls with a damp towel and allow to rise 25 minutes.
- Place a cherry into each cinnamon roll. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
