Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F)

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tbsp milk

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Extra rainbow sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough:
    In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
    Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
    Stir in flour and salt. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook, until smooth and elastic.
    Fold in the sprinkles.
    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. Make the Filling:
    In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
    Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 14×9-inch rectangle.
    Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.

  3. Roll and Cut:
    Starting from the long edge, roll up the dough tightly into a log.
    Slice into 12 equal rolls and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
    Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.

  4. Bake:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Bake for 20–25 minutes or until rolls are golden and cooked through.

  5. Glaze:
    Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
    Drizzle over warm rolls and top with extra sprinkles.

 

Notes

  • Use jimmies-style sprinkles to avoid color bleeding in the dough.

  • You can prep these the night before and bake in the morning—just refrigerate after shaping, then let rise before baking.

  • For extra richness, add a little cream cheese to the glaze.
