To make these Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls with a Ginger Twist, you will need the following ingredients:
For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, combine the warm milk, warm water, and yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated. Add in the melted butter, egg, sugar, and salt, and mix until well combined. Slowly add in the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
While the dough is rising, make the filling by mixing together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Once the rolls are done, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy the delicious Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls with a Ginger Twist!
