Easy Overnight Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 0.33 cup butter
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs eggs
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until bubbles form around the edge, avoiding a boil. Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Allow the mixture to cool to 100-110°F (38-43°C)—it should feel warm, not hot.
2. Pour the cooled milk mixture into a large mixing bowl. Gently sprinkle yeast over the warm milk and let it sit until dissolved and foamy, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, 3 cups of flour, salt, and eggs; mix well. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
3. Lightly grease a large mixing bowl, place the dough inside, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a 10x14 inch rectangle and lightly brush one edge with water. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and 3/4 cup of brown sugar, then sprinkle over the dough. Sprinkle raisins and chopped nuts evenly over the dough. Roll the dough into a log and seal the seam.
5. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan or a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to rise.
6. The next morning, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
7. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. While baking, combine corn syrup and vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk in powdered sugar and enough cream to achieve a thick glaze. Set aside. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving. Enjoy!
