Description
Cozy and delightful chai cinnamon rolls infused with warm spices, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon chai spice blend
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a warm bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Add melted butter, egg, and half of the flour.
- Gradually add the rest of the flour and knead until the dough is soft and smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- In a bowl, combine sugar and chai spices. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface and spread melted butter over it.
- Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture generously over the dough and roll it up tightly.
- Cut the rolled dough into even slices (about 1-inch thick). Place them in a greased baking dish, making sure they are snug but not overcrowded.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and a splash of milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle it over the warm rolls.
