Glazed Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:

2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3 Tablespoons brown sugar

Pinch of salt

1 packet instant yeast

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup milk

2 Tablespoons butter (unsalted)

1 large egg

Filling:

1/3 cup Good Pantry vanilla buttercream 

2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon

Zest of small lemon 

Glaze:

3/4 cup Good Pantry vanilla buttercream

2-4 Tablespoons milk (depending on preferred glaze thickness)

1.   In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Set aside. 

2.  In a small bowl mix water, milk and butter and heat in the microwave on low setting (about 20 seconds). 

3.  Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and knead with hand for 3-4 minutes (the dough should be no longer sticky). 

4.  Place in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for about 5 minutes.

5.  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and turn off after 10 minutes.

6.  After the dough has rested for 5 minutes, roll it out in a rectangle. Spread  the vanilla buttercream on top. Sprinkle the cinnamon and lemon zest all over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 10 pieces (some of them can be smaller - will be easier to arrange in the pie dish). 

7.  Place cinnamon rolls in a lightly greased 10-inch round pie dish (smaller rolls inside, large ones outside) and cover with aluminum foil. 

8.  Place the cinnamon rolls in the oven to rise/puff for 20 minutes (make sure the oven is off). 

9.  Remove the foil and turn on the oven to 375F. 

10. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-17 minutes or until golden. 

11.  Remove from oven, wait few minutes to slightly cool them down and then top with glaze.

12. Enjoy!
