Savor festive flavors with our easy Christmas Tree Cinnamon Rolls on a Stick recipe Perfect for holiday gatherings and sweet treats 155 chars
4 cups of all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) of instant yeast
½ cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of whole milk, warmed
¼ cup of unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
½ cup of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
¼ cup of unsalted butter, softened
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the warmed milk, melted butter, and eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir until a dough starts to form.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a warm towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, usually about an hour.
While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Once your dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangular shape—about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the softened butter all over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Starting from one of the longer sides, roll the dough into a log. Pinch the edges to seal, then flatten the log and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
Take a small dough piece and cut it at an angle to create a triangular 'tree' shape.
Insert a skewering stick into the base of your dough triangle, pushing it up towards the top.
Place your rolls upright on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with a clean towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle frosting over the top.
