Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast; let sit until frothy. Add melted butter, sugar, salt, eggs (if using), and flour. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Turn onto a floured surface; knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let It Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Roll It Out: Punch down the dough; roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.
  5. Add Filling: Spread softened butter over the dough; mix brown sugar and cinnamon together then sprinkle evenly over the surface with rainbow sprinkles.
  6. Shape & Slice: Roll tightly from one edge to another; slice into about 12 equal pieces and arrange in a greased baking dish.
  7. Chill Overnight: Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
  8. Bake & Glaze: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Mix powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk for glaze; drizzle over warm rolls.
